Part 2: Your Photograph
Choose an individual or a group of individuals and communicate their story of life experience to the viewer by taking at least 3 photographs. Follow a basketball player from the locker room to the court. Tell us their story through your photographs. Go to a mall, and observe a store entrance or the food court. Through your photographs tell the story of the people who visit that place.
ASSESSMENT:
– Tell the story of an individual, or a group of individuals using a series of at least 3 photographs.
– You may capture the people as they are, or you may want to set the scene, and ask people to pose.
-The composition (the arrangement of everything in the photograph) should only include what is needed to tell the story.
