In today's class, we first were told we had 7 minutes to take an appealing photo to promote our school. When doing so, there were various tactics to make the school's photos look professional or interesting to best attract new students. Prior to doing so, we were explained some bad examples of places to take pictures. First was an old building that used to actually be a pool, but the exterior made it look like an abandoned building with weeds and vines growing everywhere. Next, we were taken to look at the library. Personally, I think the inside of our library would be suitable for taking pictures, but then I could not say the same for the outside. The library has big windows, but with all of the blinds closed, you would not be able to tell that the inside is a library through a photo. I decided to take a picture at a high angle of the west building, including the blue sky so it would look more appealing. Others were taking photos of the school entrance or trying to include aspects of nature in the photos.
After the 7 minutes ended, we all chose one photo and were given a lecture on how to take our photos for the self biography. Mr. Paterson mentioned that our photo should include our upper bodies and that the background should be a bit blurred so the photo will focus most on you. He recommended us to use the mode portrait for Apple users, so I would like to make use of it in the future.
