Social Photography Pesentation
Presentation info
Please see the explanation below which will help you to make a presentation which is suitable for showing to a client
The purpose of the presentation is to show the client most of the images that you have taken in order to sell them and this is normally done with music initially and then by going through each picture one by one.
You are required to make a presentation of each session, one for the family and one for the romantic couple.
Logistically it is easier if you can put them together in one PowerPoint presentation with a Blank slide between them that requires a mouse click to proceed.
Make sure that your images are all compressed after you have made the show and that the music files are in the same folder as the ppt. file before you insert the sound.
Each show should have between 15 and 20 pictures and should move along fairly briskly so that it gives a flavour of the sitting. In the real world you would go through the images singly after this with the client so that you can take their order. You could also sell them the show so it is doubly important to compress the pictures to screen resolution to protect your profits.
I am happy to explain how to sort sound and timings etc if anyone is not sure how to do this. Best time for this is when I have your class 5-7pm on Tuesday. Ideal size for ppt images is 1024x768 pixels. Rip the music from CD in windows media player or use an mp3 file.
Any questions? Please ask.

Aperture dimensions
f = ‘focae’ and indicates a ratio 1:2, 1:5.6, 1:16 etc, which we shorten to f2, f5.6 and f16, etc.
1:2 means that the diameter of the aperture opening of a given lens is half of the focal length. For a 50mm lens to open up to f2, the diameter of the opening will need to be 25mm.
f4 on a 50mm lens requires the aperture to open as wide as 12.5mm
f4 on an 80mm lens requires the aperture to open as wide as 20mm
f4 on a 28mm lens requires the aperture to open as wide as 7mm
Because the actual diameter opening of f4 varies (12.5mm, 20mm and 7mm) depending on the focal length (50mm, 80mm and 28mm) in the examples above – f4 lets the same ‘brightness’ through, whatever the lens or format.
The same goes for all the other aperture settings – they’re universal.
New Media New Directions
