Photographer Research

WHAT:

Please research 2 photographers. You will be presenting them to the class. Use the template provided or present in any other way you can think of (prezi, photoshop etc.)

HOW YOU WILL BE GRADED:

10 points per photographer. You will be graded on quality of written research and visual representation in the presentation. 10x2=20

Additional 10 points will be for presentation to the class. You will be presenting at least 1 of your photographers.

WHY:

The more photography and styles you look at, the more informed you will be as a photographer. Looking at different kinds of photography will help you find your personal style and develop different techniques.

QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF WHILE TYPING:

Who are they? Where do they live now? How did they become a photographer?

THIS IS THE PART YOU NEED TO SPEND THE MOST TIME ON: Describe their photography and style in your words. What do you like about their work? What questions would you ask the photographer if you could? What do you think the photographer is trying to communicate with their work?
