This will be our final assignment for this class. It will be due on the scheduled day of our final, Thursday May 7, 8-10 am. Please post to your blog prior to class time!
This assignment should be approached with courage, excitement and dedication. Your goal is to shoot a Photo story. What I am hoping for is a series of images that have visual consistency; ideally they would tell a story when presented together.
There are many examples in your textbook in Ch.11 that will help give you ideas. There are many actual photo stories there, take advantage of that resource.
Your story can be narrative, that has a problem and a resolution. If your topic lends itself better for the Editorial Photo Essay, with a particular point of view, that is ok. You could also approach it with the Documentary style in mind, like the FSA photographs, where you the photog remains neutral and present a wide variety of viewpoints. Try to find a topic that you can draw the viewer into with images. You also should look for a topic that will have some sort of action taking place that you can photograph.
Have fun and use your camera as your voice!!!

You will need to include an appx. 300 word essay that goes along with you images. Include photo captions as well.

Shoot-Artificial Lighting
Good Morning,
It is raining today, so it's a good time to work on studio lighting! We are going to be in our studio upstairs using hot lights. Your assignment is to photograph either a portrait or product shot. You need to use the lights in the studio, OR use natural light that is available upstairs or outside but you need to use reflectors or fill flash.
Research images that use studio lighting, in particular, product shots.
This is due Tuesday April 14. Post 1-3 images to the blog.
