DigPhotog: Diversity & Digital Photography - Practical Issues [VID] (W12-P2) Sp18

We shift now from the serious issues addressed in the previous blog post to practical issues of photographing people of different skin tones.

For some written advice read Photographing People of Color, if you are interested.  But, here, let's watch a couple of videos with further instructions.





The above videos covered what to do if your subject has darker skin, but what if you have multiple people in your photograph with different skin tones?  Follow and read the link.

To take things a step further, if you are interested, you would find it helpful to also understand the use of the gray card and "middle gray" in photography.  If interested, you may also want to explore how spot metering works in to all this.

This last post on this topic is not a lecture post.  It is more an advertisement or endorsement.

If you are interested, also check out the transmedia project related to the film at http://1world1family.me/



The documentary is based, in part, on Deborah Willis' book, Reflections in Black: A History of Black Photographers 1840 to the Present








Below is just a little on Dr. Willis and her work.



 If you are especially curious, there is a good interview of Dr. Willis on WGBH's Basic Black.

For some written advice read Photographing People of Color.  Now let's watch a couple of videos with further instructions.





If you are interested, you may want to compare the above approaches to how one photographer addressed the topic with his use of blackface.  He appears to be serious, but does not seem to understand the racist history of the use of blackface.

The above videos covered what to do if your subject has darker skin, but what if you have multiple people in your photograph with different skin tones?  Follow and read the link.
