Association Bricolages Ondulatoires et Particulaires
Why this little tutorial? To collect information that will be visible on BOP website, in each member portfolio section. Only the parts with information will be visible, therefore not showing unaesthetic blank boxes...
Part1. The photographer
* name, first name, bop-name
* free description of yourself: one page, around 12pt typeset, this description can contain whatever you like: personal interest, photographic history, philosophy, preferred material, etc. whatever, it's free as in free speech!
* a link to a personal website
* an email to forward your bop-mail
Part 2. The portfolio
What we propose is one portfolio per member, with easy modification and maintenance. The main idea is to group your pictures by themes (one or more), with a particular logic (one could be "my best pictures" although we don't encourage it). We do think it is part of an artistic thinking, personal themes, a coherency in ones work. BOP is maybe a bit constraining in that aspect but it is for your own good!
A portfolio is composed of 40 pictures maximum, grouped in maximum 4 expositions/themes.
Information required:
* a description in the same spirit as the one for the photographer (half a page, 12pt), we are anxious to read your creativity!
Part 3. The pictures
It is important to collect as many information as possible for each picture. One more undocumented information will not show, so do not panic if you don't remember the aperture you used for this fantastic portrait of your step mother, way back in 1975...
The picture must have 560pix of larger dimension (meaning they should fit inside a square figure of 560*560pix), in jpeg format without compression. If you have scanner trouble do not hesitate to mail us, we are some sort of experts as we have encountered many trouble... Anyway some mailing-list discussion will ensue.
Information (possibly) required:
* Where and when: place, date, title and comment, we insist on the fact that you should comment your pictures, except if it is in the concept of your particular theme.
* Material: camera, optic, film (brand, sensibility, color/bw, format, pushed/not pushed...)
* Film development: personal/professional, chemicals, specific treatment...
* Printing/scanning: personal/professional, chemicals, specific treatment, scanning parameters (definition...)
Part 4. Putting the pictures on line...
If you already have an account, you know what to do, for any troubleshooting, feel free to mail us.
If you don't have an account but are interested to get one, send us a sample (in a zip file for example, with the pictures and a text document (preferably not MSWord but we can cope with it)
