Project I. Subject Matter: Working your Strategies

Prelim Critique: 9/14—Onscreen viewing is sufficient for this critique; upload files at 1500 pixels longest side to the critique folder by class time. Make sure files can be identified as yours. Use "batch rename" for this, if you need to.

Due Date/Final Critique of Project: (9/21—new date)

10 finalized images, 3 of which should be printed, 2 of which should be turned in as layered Photoshop files (using digital skills taught in class) (1500 pixels longest dimension), and finally, jpegs of all 10 (1500 pixels of longest dimension).

Choose a higher level subject. Drill down to specifics and fully explore using shooting strategies covered so far, as well as attention to lighting.

"Portraits" is an example of a first-level subject. "Portraits of athletes" is second level; it is more specific. "Portraits of athletes experiencing defeat" is a rich, complex, third-level subject. You may need to start general for a while until your imagination begins to take over and rule the process. Let it carry you away. Follow it relentlessly. Dream big and turn it into vibrant pictures.
