Take 10 minutes. Write down as much as you can during that time.  Keep your hands typing or your pen moving the entire time. Write down whatever comes to mind, follow your mind’s direction, don’t try to steer it one way or another. Stick with each image and describe it as closely as you can.

Now  imagine your life, at the end of it, you have five images with which to share your existence on this earth. What would those five images look like? It could be the life you always wanted, it could be five images that convey to the world exactly how you feel about the world? It could be really showing the world who you are.

What images come to mind? IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE, share what you wrote by pasting the results in to the comment section of THIS POST.

After viewing the photos contained in the above link (Try her website, the student show link is there as backup just in case her website is blocked.) answer the following questions using complete sentences.

What words would you use to describe  Kanevskaya’s work? What photographic techniques does she use to create these works? What makes these  photos resonate with you? What ideas do you get for your own work?

 

For this next project, you will shoot FIVE PHOTOS that have a common theme. Another way of looking at this is telling a story with five photographs. A story that is complex enough to explore that you need the five photos to explore that.

You could see this as a personal essay with photos instead of words.

Example:Why am I so neurotic? Did my parents make the same mistakes I do? Why do I feel really strongly about a certain things? How well do I know my best friend? Do your friends really define you? Why do I love music so much? Why do I try so hard at soccer at 42, am I really trying to impress my father after all these years?

For the written part, you will write a two paragraph explanation of what your photo series is trying to say.

Examples?

Advice: Choose a subject that you are passionate about or that confuses you. You could do five photos on dreams, with all five photos being of specific dreams you had. Or you could do a photo series on what people want to be after college, in life.
