Photographer Research
For this project, you and a partner are working together to research two of the photographers as assigned, who are considered the best in the industry, both past and present. You are to then create a Google Presentation about them to share with your classmates and each create four photographic works of art in their style, one being recreating a photograph to the best of your ability. Save your presentation as last photographername.period# and share it with your partner
The Google presentation must include the following information:
Title page- name of photographers, genre of work and presenters names
Partner one works on these slides (All sources must be listed on the last slide):
1. First Artist name, date and place of birth and/or death, as well as a photograph of them.
2. What genre of photography do they specialize in- commercial, fine art, documentary, war photography?
3. What they are best known for, characteristics of their work…what made them unique?
4. Five to six images of their work (each on a separate slide), with the title and date. Try and get as high resolution images as possible, and be sure it is definitely by that artist and not “in the style of”. DO NOT just rely on google images. During your presentation you will also be explaining about the photographs- how it fits the artist's style, what the photographs are about, what series it was a part of, and where it was taken.
5. Your personal opinion of the artist. What is it that you like about their style?
6. Choose one of their best known artworks and recreate it to the best of your ability with your teammate- think of the lighting, composition, style, subject matter.
7. Do three other photographs “in the style of” that artist, one photo per slide and explain during your presentation how it is in the style of your artist (so four total of your own work).
Partner two works on these slides (All sources must be listed on the last slide):
8. Second artist name, date and place of birth and/or death, as well as a photograph of them.
