I was really glad to see everyone today and to know that you're all holding up despite the extraordinariness of our current situation.
To recap some of what we discussed:
- For most of you, your photo series topics will have changed. For some of you, this means adapting your topic to the objects or people in your home. For others, you may now be doing a Before/After series, using your original series a s a starting point to show how life has changed since social distancing. Some of you might be starting something entirely new.
- Use this week to keep shooting and to work through what your new series will look like. Shoot everyday. If you are staying indoors, I recommend getting up before everyone else in your household, at a time of day you normally aren't awake. This can help you see your surroundings with fresh eyes and may help give you some new ideas.
- We will be meeting (via Zoom) during our regular class time next week to look at what you shot and to give you some suggestions and direction for how to continue and complete your series over the next two weeks.
- Before next Saturday: Upload your photos to the Google Drive 2nd Critique folder (I'll send the link to you in an email). 20+ Photos. This should be a combination of your new photos along with any Pre-Quarantine series photos we haven't seen
- Start working on a self-portrait. There are a lot of ways to approach this, and not every portrait is a portrait of a face.
That's it for classwork--I'm here if you have any questions or if you want to touch base about how to proceed with your series. Just drop me an email.
In the meantime, National Geographic posted an essay about what some of their photographers who are stuck in quarantine are working on. Take a look here:
