As a photographer, you make many decisions. You decide what to photograph, how to compose it with your camera, and which images to print. You make these decisions according to your personal aesthetic viewpoint, (what visually attracts you as an artist). See if you can put into words what you enjoy most about photography...In your sketchbook, use two pages to explain and describe what you believe about photography. Your entry should somehow respond to the following questions:
1) In your own opinion, identify what makes a photograph successful? Be specific, form a strong, informed opinion and explain why! (Also, find 3-4 master examples that illustrate your opinions using the links below, and glue them into your sketchbook).
2) Identify and explain the subject that you enjoy photographing the most. Try to be as specific as possible! (i.e. "people" is not specific!) Look back at your old work, sketch, draw, collage to illustrate your fascination.
Your entry needs to use the entire space of two facing pages in your sketchbook. Design your pages, include both text and image. Make it legible and clear to read. Complete this assignment by Wed. Sept. 15th!
