Street Photography is an incredibly diverse and totally different practice of making images from working in a studio or at home with our friends or family for our ‘models’.  The method by which we make our images is through a series of photoshoots - over time and often in similar locations, over and over until we gather the images that finally capture something essential about that moment that we had - in that place at that time with our camera in our hands and our eyes open and minds ready to make the image.  Henri Cartier-Bresson talks about The Decisive Moment - where all of these elements come together  and there is a moment that is caught on camera that is magic.

For this assignment, we’re looking at how you went about solving the problem of using the digital tools at your disposal in order to create the illusion of one of the first photographic mediums, the Daguerreotype.  We will also print these images for critique and display in person.

In this assignment you will choose one photograph to emulate accurately as possible, studying the composition, framing, quality of light and direction and interactions of light on and with the subject matter.

Capture and submit three monochromatic still life images with "bracketed" exposures - over expose, expose according to your light meter, and underexpose. In addition to the three still life images, you will submit one image documenting your set up/studio scene (the whole thing - any rigging you had to do) so I can see your light. When complete, submit all four images in addition to a comment describing your exposure settings for each.
