For the last Photog's Choice of the semester, your idea is to be your own...with one caveat: you must photograph a person or people in some way.
DIRECTIONS, PART 1.
1. Search for FIVE photographers that photograph people.
There are many links/feeds on our class sites:
http://timberwolfphotolounge.blogspot.com/
http://timberwolfphotolounge2.blogspot.com/
Also, conduct a search for 'interesting photographic portraits,' 'photographers who photograph people,' 'clever photographic portraiture,' etc. Be specific and clever with your search. If you would like to add a level of intellectual and/or societal influence, think about photographing people with 'stories.' This would allow you to get deeper into the subject, connect with your subjects, and take the project from a teacher-assigned 'thing' to something richer and meaningful within your own sensibilities...and by doing that, allow the viewer to see something in the universal humanity we all share. That old adage is true: by telling a specific story, you tell the story of all of us.
2. Compose an email to me in Canvas.
In that email, include your a numbered list of links to FIVE photographers you find.
Place an asterisk next to the THREE options that you see yourself being able to complete.
Under each of the asterisk links, be specific about why you are drawn to in that artist's work, what excites you about their work, and what you might like to do.
DIRECTIONS, PART 2.
1. Make ten+ portraits over a few days.
Using one or a couple of your researched photogs as a starting point, make portraits of your person/people.
The point of spreading these over a few days is to give your creative ideas and actions a chance to grow and expand as you think about what you have done.
