My professor asked that we take a stylized shot and a snapshot. I thought I understood the assignment, but after seeing other people's work, I realized, I didn't.
Here's someone's rough definition:
"A “snapshot” can be taken of anything and of varying quality (composition, exposure, etc.) Usually a “snapshot” is a quick rough capture to document a scene or event. A “photograph” on the other hand is a well thought, composed, exposed and executed art form..."

Here is an example of a snap shot shot by someone else:
Here is my misunderstood version, Stylized:
Snapshot:
So essentially, they are very much the same shot as per my professor. I didn't realize the difference until the day I showed this in class.
Luckily, I wasn't the only one who misunderstood and I really felt that if the professor had shown us some examples of what a "stylized" shot was versus a "snapshot" prior to us doing the homework, most of us would have done a better job.
Actually come to think of it, the same goes for the ad vs the editorial. I didn't realize there was a difference until after my blunder. Lesson learned though and hopefully some of you will learn from mistakes as well. =0.)
I love Jill Greenberg's series! I think, if I am not mistaken, she shot Gwen Stefani for her album covers the same after (after her kid's series, of course), I loved how she utilized photoshop to make the colors and the textures pop!
ReplyDeleteI agree.. I love Jill Greenberg's work as well, she turned something that's usually frowned upon into something beautiful.. I don't know if she shot for Gwen, but I wouldn't be surprised... hehe..
