Friday November 20th

Today you will do one of two things:

1. You will use the entire period to shoot your photo. Make sure you have all of the exact details for your shot. Shoot as many versions as you want. I will only see one.
Lighting, location, subjects, facial expressions, and other props count.

2. You will research your photographer and write your one page typed (minimum) paper answering the questions listed on the blog below. Papers will be approximately three-four full paragraphs long. You can use Abi Word, text edit, or you may use your WORD on your laptops to type.
If you choose to write today, you will need to take your picture over the long weekend.

I have asked the sub to leave me names of any students who decide to stay off task during class.

Have fun!


You will have 45 minutes during class Tuesday to manipulate and print your photo.
Your photo, the artists photo you replicated, and your typed paper will be turned in to me at 1:30 PM on Tuesday.
Please email me if you have any questions.

Masters of Photo Shooting Assignment

Once you have selected the photographer of your choice from the list below please determine an image(s) or technique of theirs you would like to try and replicate. You task is to mimic their photographic style and aesthetic principles with your own photograph. Imitation is the best form of flattery, and this is your task.

Example:

Herman Leonard: known for photographing jazz legends both in portraits and in jazz clubs. Images were black and white with stark contrast and vivid lighting. To mimic his style you could shoot images of an indie band at a show with similar conditions (intense lighting, black and white, high contrast, etc.)

You will be printing out one image of your photographer and one of your own creation in line with their style and technique...

• Describe their photography (what is unique about her/his style and technique)
• And explain how he/she (or something they did, used, or created) has impacted or changed the world of photography.
• Why did you choose this photographer? What do you like about their work/style?

Note: Do not copy/paste text from web sites. I will check to make sure that everything written is in your words. Google is a fantastic tool for checking plagiarism.
