Week 6 Wrap-Up

EUGENE RICHARDS, WONDER BREAD, DORCHESTER, MASSACHUSETTS, 1975.

Hi Everyone!

Today we visited the International Center of Photography and discussed photojournalism, documentary work and contemporary photography while looking at the work of photographer Eugene Richards.

On to this week's homework:

Continue working on your series. Our next critique is only two weeks away!
Create and post a photograph inspired by the exhibition we saw today. Look at Richard's use of light and shadow, and pay close attention to how he arranges and poses people and objects in the frame. The image doesn't have to be in black & white, but I encourage you to try it out.
Complete and post any missed homework ASAP.

Next week we will have a visit from guest artist Kamal Badhey.

That's all for today--see you soon!

Off of the feedback of critique

Discussing staged and candid photos got me thinking and more intrigued in very staged photography, similar to old portraits of people in the 1700s-1900s. This is all just from 1 shoot,but i think I can be more creative with this style and push myself a little more, as well as work on composition. This is going to resemble still life styles more.
