Week 3 Wrap-Up

Diane Arbus, Child with a Toy Hand Grenade, Central Park, 1962

Hi Everybody!
I hope you all are having a great weekend!

This week, we took a closer look at composition and street photography..
We took a field trip to Washington Square Park, where I asked you to shoot the following:
- A scene, person, or object from very close up, middle distance, and far away.
- A candid photo of a stranger
- 3 portraits of strangers

 For this week's homework, I'd like you to post the images you shot during class. I'd also like you to post the following:

-Shoot and post a 5 image photo essay about someone in your household or a close friend. Try to tell us their story as objectively as possible. Shoot in one session, and try to limit yourself to 20 minutes, Be as efficient as possible!

-Additionally, please email me with your thoughts about your series. Don't worry if you aren't sure abut what you are posting yet--just tell me what you are thinking.

Next class, we will take a look at manual exposure, take a shooting field trip, and will start working with camera raw. Be sure to bring your card reader and hard drive with you, as well as coming to class with Metro card fare for 2 rides.

If you have any questions about any of this, please get in touch.

See you next week!
