Photographer Research assignments

Three times this term you will be required to post an assignment about a photographer of your choice. I only ask that you research someone you've not done before, and not someone you are very familiar with.

The requirements:
  • 5-8 sentences about your subject's life, influences, etc.
  • 8-12 sentences about your subject's photographic work... what they photographed, why they photographed it, and your thoughtful response to the work you have seen
  • 5 of your subject's images, with 2-3 sentences of your evaluation of/response to each one.
For the first one we will start with books from our library. For the other three you can find your subjects on the web, if you prefer. I will post some resources for finding interesting photographic artists later on.

You must complete 3 of the following 4...
The due dates for posting:
#1 - Friday 4/3 by 8:00 am
#2 - Friday 4/17 by 8:00 am
#3 - Friday 5/1 by 8:00 am
#4 - Friday 5/15 by 8:00 am
