Straight Photography

Straight Photography is composing a photograph in the camera lens with no manipulation with photoshop or other photo altering methods.  My students are learning and exploring photography rules and how to apply them.   Our goal is to see the whole image in the viewfinder and to place the elements of the photo in an aesthetically enhancing position.  We have already explored the Rule of Thirds and how the rule helps compose an image using a Horizon as a focus for the photoshoot.  We are taking outdoor photography in low lighting so we are also exploring how to set the ISO on our cameras to capture the best light for each photographers aesthetic.

Here are some wonderful examples, plus see more on our Artsonia web art gallery.  We are off to a great start.
