Do test shoots for your projects. Have them in the dropbox folder for Thursday to look over. Start developing out your sketchbook. Look at photographers and style.

Tuesday, October 4

Please submit your photo diary assignment - Katy Grannan before Tuesday. Play around with lighting in the studio this weekend just to brush up on types. Please have three pitches of ideas for your next proposal in you sketchbook for Tuesday. Take those columns that you wrote in your sketchbook as ideas. Start looking at other photographers to put in you sketchbooks for ideas if you hit a wall. Good luck!


Here are some links to Grannan's work to talk about American Dream loss...

Thursday, Sept. 29

Please start your sketchbook for contemporary photography. Start researching ideas, concepts and photographers. Please make a list of three columns. One column - things you hate that make you made. Middle column - things that you are attracted to (aka colors, other artists, settings, objects, etc.) Far column - things that you love. See if there is a way to combine the ideas between them. Look at photographers that work in portraiture that you are attracted to. Print off these works and put them in you sketchbook. A good sketchbook is more of a scrapbook than anything. Lots of bits and pieces make a whole.

It doesn't have to be pretty...just functional. Here are some images of some friends books, former students and professionals.
