Assignments for Photo Class:

Due March 23rd
2 enlargements

1. Compositional Abstraction
- subject isn’t relevant
- abstraction to a degree
- it’s all about composition
- more aware of lines, value, shapes, balance, symmetry, spatial ambiguity, texture, light, depth of field & film grain

2. Domestic Metaphor
- photograph of a symbol, document, thing which stands for something more.
- how a figure interacts with it’s background
- suggests a larger idea
- objects in your house
- represents your home, your domestic life
- objects everyone will recognize – avoid esoteric & personal things
- boring things but not boring photos
- utilitarian objects work well
- photograph so that they are no longer boring and common
- visual hierarchy, vantage point


Due April 6th
3 enlargements

1 & 2. Editorial. One complaint/negative, one positive
- photograph as a document
- respond to your environment
- editorial documents
- reflection of surroundings
- look at common surroundings
- framing, vantage point, quality of light, film grain

3. Night Exposure
- must be nighttime
- must be outside


Due April 20th
3 enlargements

1. Self Portrait
- I have to be recognizable
- I can use someone to take the picture as long as the camera is set up & I set the focus/exposure. The other person is simply to push the button.

2. Environmental Portrait

3. Street Portrait
- people you don’t know
- preferably without them knowing
- stick to public places

photos!
Will you sell some of the matted prints you have in the basket in your living room? If you are, I'd like to buy one of the BRIGHT BLUE BIRD! prints, and one of the larger photo taken of the pond (with lots of grass in the foreground). I'll try to write better descriptions if these don't isolate the two prints I saw and failed to describe :)
