11 Photographer Project

Select-Research-Write-Share-Photograph

Criteria- Grade 11 Dead Photographer Assignment 

1. Select a notable/historic photographer from the past who made an impact in the medium. Find a photographer who you are interested in. This is likely the most challenging and important of the steps; find a photographer that inspires you.
2. Research several using the internet. Find your top 5 five favorite. Write 5 important points about each and put in your journal with an image for each and narrow it down to one.
3. Write an article about the photographer's life, the medium, photo style, and offer an opinion reflection and commentary of their work in 500 to 750 words. Make sure you include a bibliography.
4. Share your photographer with the class any way you want. You are to articulate information from your article to the class verbally, and visually.
5. Photograph in their style, create a contact sheet and five 5 x 7 prints.

When you find your photographer, make sure there is sufficient information about them. And you will need to collect at least five photos of their style.
