Club Requirements

Due to the large number of students interested in joining the Photography Club, there are going to be certain requirements that you must fill in order to participate in the club. Please read the information below and follow the instructions.

CLUB REQUIREMENTS--- In order to participate in club activities on October 14, you must complete the following by October 14.

1. You must pay the $5.00 club dues to Mrs. Millsap in room 115. You can see me between classes or after school.

2. You must complete a photography portfolio. The portfolio must consist of the following:
a). The pictures can be either printed and put into a folder/book of some sort. Or you can go to a free photo hosting website, such as jalbum.net and create your portfolio online.

b). You must include 6 to 10 samples of your photographs. You must include the following pictures: a nature photograph, an action shot (example: football player running), a portrait of someone (example: a posed shot with someone looking at the camera), a mugshot of someone (this is just of their face), the bookbag picture you were assigned to take, and a really bad photograph you have taken. You may include additional pictures if you choose. Please no more than 10.

c). All photographs must be raw images. That means do NOT edit them in anyway. You may crop the photos, but do nothing else to them. All photographs must be pictures that you have taken.

d). The portfolio must be completed by October 14 when you come to my classroom for the meeting. If you are sharing printed copies of your photos, you must have them with you. If you are sharing them via an Internet sharespace, they must be already on the web. Please make sure that you are able to access the website via the Internet at school. For instance: MySpace is not accessible at school; therefore, you cannot post your portfolio to MySpace.

If you have any questions, please stop by my room. Do not come during classes. You must see me between classes or before or after school.
