Photo Essay

In Your Sketchbooks:

Brainstorm your own list of themes and subjects you could photograph to tell a story with only pictures. Consider-emotion, humor, story, subject matter, style, etc. INCLUDE 5 DIFFERENT IDEAS

Choose your best idea, then plan your essay by generating a detailed list of photos you would need to take in order to capture the essence of your story. INCLUDE 20 DIFFERENT PHOTO IDEAS!

Plan a potential arrangement of the photos into one composition…your plan may change after you take your photos, but it’s good to consider first.

Next: Shoot a series of new pictures (40 images – shared on the Google Drive) specifically for this assignment that focus on telling your chosen story.

Once images are uploaded to drive and shared, email Mrs. Smith an explanation of your direction of the “story”
