Masters of Photography Assignment

Masters of Photography

New Photography Masters Assignment:
 Use email to answer the following questions:
1. Look at the various work from ALL of the photographers listed below. This will take at least 30-40 minutes. You may even explore more up and coming photographers on your own.
2. Pick a photographer that you would like to emulate and pay homage. You will eventually re-create an exact picture and also create your own picture in the "style" of this photographer.
3. Tell me about the photographer and why you picked their work.
 In no LESS than one page please explain:
• Who you chose and who they are (i.e. when, where, what etc)
• Describe their photography: What is unique about her/his style and technique? What types of photos do they take? What are the themes or concepts?
•• Why did you choose this photographer? What do you like about their work/style?
 Please reference different photos and use photography terms that we have discussed in class and from the links below.
4. What specific picture are you going to re-create? Why? Please provide a link to this photo. Where will you shoot these photos? Who are what exactly will be your subject? How will you re-create the exact lighting?
Please email this document to me at trent.mitchell@shorelineschools.org
