Week 6 | Fun Work

I hope you had a good time this last week and learned at least a few valuable things. I'll continually ask you to step outside of your comfort zones when it comes to Photography. So much about shooting photographs is about meeting and interacting with people. Even landscape and fine art photographers have to possess the ability to talk with people they don't know in order to find the best scenes.

We're taking a break from the quizzes for a week but in return I'll be asking you to write a one page long essay on the photographer that I assign you. Since I mentioned landscape photography, that's the genre we will cover. The pairings are as follows:

Grant - Joe Cornish
Tienna - Marc Adamus
Caeden - Patrick Endres
Kalin - Gordon Wiltsie
Ellie - Ian Cameron
JJ - Charles Cramer

Use your researching skills and Mr. Google to look at the landscape work of the assigned photographer.

Write a one page (5-7 paragraph) essay that you'll post to your blog.

Choose ten of your favourite photographs (of your particular photographer)
and save to a new folder on your Desktop. On your blog, write a short summary about the photographer - what sort of locations do they shoot in? Describe their style. Talk about the subjects they choose, the colours they choose to highlight, and the way they frame their images.

On the same post, upload each of those ten images to your blog and write a short description of what you like about each image.

As always, let me know if you have any questions what so ever!
