Really Fun Presentation Topics: digital camera trick photography

Susanna (age 9) - Reston VA

What's more ironic than the term "slumber party"? We're told Susie and her friends recently celebrated a birthday by dressing-up in costumes and taking campy digital photos. They experimented with the same trick photography techniques they see in their magazines. They created ArtHouse storyboards with print-outs of their pictures.

If you look closely, you can see here how a larger picture of Susie's head was cut-out and playfully superimposed over a smaller picture of her body.

The background is pretty fun too - it appears Susie discovered she could layer strips of colored vellum to produce the illusion of brightly painted walls reflecting in a waxed floor. Very cool!
