Final Assignment

Photo 101: Beginning Photography

Working in Series (Digital)

SUBMIT
• 5 Window Matted Images + One extra minimum 6 or more
• 1 CD/DVD of all images shot

Applying skills and techniques learned in previous projects, create a cohesive set of photographs that work together as a series, chronologically, connected visually, or united by a common concept or idea.

In developing your concept, consider the following:

·      Do the images work as a series in tonal range, exposure and composition? Do they look like a series?

·      Do the images work together to create a new meaning or understanding that would not be possible with single, separate images?

Work in progress critique:

Project Due:

8x10 inch prints or larger/minimum 6 images.

All work must be mounted or matted.

CD or DVD disc of all images shot for project if shot digitally/Contact sheet if film.

Exposure notes are not required.
