The Photographic Essay

photo by Lewis Hines
Photo Essay Presentations!

If presenting a powerpoint, save powerpoint to a thumbdrive to share during presentation. Use low resolution imagery only in presentation. Design the presentation well, elegantly combine image and text. Include your statement of purpose in the presentation!

If presenting the work as an art exhibit, post your final layouts/works to the Advanced Photo group pool. I will download them to my computer so that you can share them with the class. Be prepared! Have your statement of purpose typed and ready to turn in after your presentation!

Presentation order:

Thursday, April 16th: Marian, Jemini, Megan, Kate Y., Bianca, Lauren, Celene, Katie L.

Friday, April 17th: Jennifer, John, Tracy, Amina, Gunter, Leslie, Chris, Raissa, Michaela.

If you are not prepared to present, you will be penalized a letter grade for lateness. Make arrangements with other students if you'd like to switch days, and inform Mr. La Londe by the end of class today!


Below, you will also find links to several websites that show professional photo essays by photojournalists that work around the world:
