Photographer as a Mentor

2/22/2018

 
Part 1 - Research: Due 3/1
Create a presentation (slideshow, video, essay, article, other) that includes the following information about your photographer.
  • Artist name, date and place of birth and/or death, as well as a photograph of them.
  • What they are known for- commercial, fine art, documentary, war photography?  Explain what that career is (what does it mean to be a commercial photographer/ fine art photographer/ documentary?)
  • Interesting/important details about them, such as where they went to school, what they are best known for, characteristics of their work…what makes them unique?  What made them famous? What makes them different then the other photographers out there?
  • 8 examples of their work, including the title and date.  Search for high resolution images, and be sure it is definitely by that artist and not “in the style of”.  Make sure you include their most well known photograph!!  Include within your speech any information you can find about the photographs, specifically what it is of, where were they made, was this part of a photo series, who was the client, where was it published or displayed- you will be discussing it within your presentation.  Make sure these are high resolution images.
  • Your personal opinion of the artist- what made you choose that person?  What is it that you like about their style? (content, technique, audience)​
  • ​Bibliography aka Works Cited- (no Wikipedia)  Must have three or more sources with the website's proper name and url.  If the photographer has their own personal website, it must be included within your sources!  MLA Format. http://www.citationmachine.net/mla?scrlybrkr=fa9aa67a# or http://www.easybib.com/?scrlybrkr=14e5ee81

Part 3 - Plan & Shoot Replica Image: Due 3/7
You will select one of the photographer’s most iconic images to replicate. You will next plan your image using the planning template (due 3/2). Shoot image and have small group critique in class (using critique guide).

Part 4 - Create 6+ images ‘In the Style of’ the photographer: Due 3/16
Now that you are familiar with the work of the photographer, you will create their own work that is inspired by the style of the photographer.
Do not replicate their images or just imitate their style. Find something about their style that inspires you and incorporate that into your own series and style. Try a combination of: subject matter, lighting, use of color, composition techniques, technical aspects, etc...
