Now that we're back into the swing of things, and you've had the whole summer to space out, it's time to jump back in to photography! Regardless of whether you've been taking pictures over the summer or not, it's time to brush the cobwebs aside and shoot a roll of film (or two). Here's what I'd like you to do:
Problem: Shoot a roll of film (24 exposures minimum, b&w only) that demonstrates how you approach your choice of subject matter with a camera. Choose only one subject to focus on, and concentrate on your style of approaching this subject by considering the following:
1) How do you employ compositional strategies like cropping or using the edges of the frame?
2) How do you use light and shadow?
3) How do you use technical adjustments like focus, depth of field, or shutter speed?
4) How do you employ a point of view?
Be prepared to have the following completed for our critique on Thursday, 9/11:
-Two 5x7" or larger prints
-Contact sheet and negatives
-Self evaluation questions (see second page below)
