THINKING ABOUT YOUR MASTERS PHOTOS, LIST SOME CONSIDERATIONS ABOUT...

Distinctive architecture, whether it be buildings, monuments, homes, or even playhouses. When using camera obscura, subject must be still for potentially long periods of time. Multiples that resonate with me, perhaps camera lenses or cassette tapes. (Morrell used pencils, crayons, books, etc.) Process as product: the photograph as a record of an experiment, an experience. Reality vs. illusion, as well as the celebration of illusion (not having to hide the strings- how things were made).

Responding to the scientific properties of light: manipulating, reflecting, and/or projecting. Or, locating natural lighting situations which show unique properties of light.

COMPOSITION: Simple, centered, zoomed out and filled frame - any complexity should be in the subject or concept, rather than in the composition (otherwise it could be distracting). SUMMARIZE THE ABOVE INTO AN OBJECTIVE FOR YOURSELF THIS ROLL, HERE: To shoot a roll of film inspired by the work of Abelardo Morrell. I will explore how a photograph can interact with its location/environment, how light and shadow can contribute to a photograph as overt subject matter, and how ordinary objects can become extraordinary subjects. I will experiment with techniques such as camera obscura, projected light, and reflected light. I will complete and turn in a contact sheet analysis and three 8x10 prints (including my test strips for those prints.) You must include three 8x10 prints with test strips, along with this rubric. Masters of Photography Print Criteria PRESENTATION: Print has an even white border and is trimmed neatly. DESIGN: Print shows strong consideration of: STUDIO SKILLS:
I made a test strip for each print, then used it to identify the best exposure for the print. Each print is exposed properly, showing a range of values from the darkest blacks to the lightest whites, with greys in between. I demonstrated the proper use of darkroom chemistry and processes when making my prints.

OBJECTIVE: I designed objectives for myself inspired by the work of my Master Photographer. I worked to achieve these objectives in a roll of lm, and printed and turned in the 3 images I felt were strongest.
