Let's be honest, my experience with photography is very very limited. I have absolutely no experience whatsoever when it comes to post-processing and all that I do know when it comes to photography is the holy trinity of exposure (shutter, aperture, and iso), how aperture plays with dof, and the rule of the third. I've fallen hard for photography, but I'm not exactly what you would call talented.
I have the Xsi with the nifty fifty, kit 18-55 and soon the Canon 10-22. I shoot in RAW and only shoot in either M or Av modes. Well here's the problem:
My University is hosting a photography contest. One of the themes is "identity". I know this is probably an idea that's been beaten to death before but what I was thinking that my submission will be a collage. I'm thinking about taking pictures of 3 boys/girls, all very diverse, doing a BW conversion and then combining it all together in a simple frame and then calling it quits. The shots are going to be simple headshots and the models/people I pull off the street/campus/dorms are all going to look quite different from one another.
So my questions are:
Should I try something with lighting? I have a crappy halogen lamp that I can prolly play around with that can accentuate tones or make soft shadows with their facial features.
Should I do something a bit different? Instead of having 6 pictures all lined up and neat, I could try to combine it so that it kinda looks like a face. I think this might be a bit hard seeing as I have on post-processing abilites at all haha.
What would you guys do?
