A diptych (pronounced "dip-tick" IPA: [ dip'tik] (or US: [ 'dɪp.tɪk ]) from the Greek δίπτυχο [ ði'pti.xo ] di- "two" + ptychē "fold")

People, Places, Things



For this assignment you will create 5 diptychs. Use your 400 shots to photograph PEOPLE, PLACES, and THINGS—you should shoot at least three rolls for each topic. Pay attention to quality of light—try shooting in the early evening, in the fog, in various kinds of artificial light, at night with long shutter speeds, etc. Remember to make INTERESTING IMAGES that will work well in pairs.

Your first 40 shots should be 400 ISO or less and should be shot between the hours of 10am and 2pm outside on a bright day. Make sure to make contact sheets of all your images.
40 must be slower than 400 ISO
40 must be 400 ISO
40 must be 800 ISO or above
The rest of the shots are your choice.

Over the next few class you will be bringing in Raw images to work on using Adobe Raw. The images will be placed next to each other in diptychs. Examples will be shown in class.. You will be outputting onto 8.5x11 paper using the Epson printer.
