C. Brainstorm on your blog possible ideas for your Phobia photo.

Things to consider:

Figure(s) & Object(s) (which should reveal something of the phobia in the photo)
Format: horizontal vs Vertical
Subject Placement: Rule of Thirds
Background
Point of View
Lighting: create mood/feeling
Clothing: can suggest personal style/career profession
Subject: mannerism, reactions, expressions and body language

Plan three different shoots with three different phobias. What will you shoot, who will model, how will you show the phobia in the photo, where will you shoot these images? Please detail this out in a paragraph for each phobia (remember you will shoot and turn in three photos).

1. Arachnophobia- Fear of spiders i will try to shoot this the best i can and i would use my sister to help out and  i would set her up with one arm out and her eyes closed like she swenting with tears coming own with the spider on her arm likes its crawling up her arm. I would do this at my house in my living room or in the garage do to lighting.
2.  Athazagoraphobia- Fear of being forgotten or ignored or forgetting i will also try to shoot this one and i would use my family i would set up like were having a get together and everyones talking on one side of the room in a group and have my sister sitting in a chair looking the other way alone and have her looking pained and i would do this in my house.
3. Batophobia- Fear of heights or being close to high buildings. i would use my sister or any family member i would go outside and use a tree or a high surface and have them climb the tree and look down as if there scared to get down or look like there scared to jump off a high area and i would be doing this at home.
4.  Chirophobia- Fear of hands. i would again use my family and i would do like one of my family members try to  touch the other or in a situation of it and them move there bodys to get away from the hand but have tears coming down there face like there crying and kinda have them crouch down like there falling and i would do this at home 

D. What photographic techniques can you use to help highlight your images? Come up with one idea for each of your three photos you will take.

• I would highlight the spider more to see it better 
• i would highlight my sister by herself to see the situation more 
• i would use the outside lighting
