Assignment #1: Self Portrait


There is a rich tradition of self-portraiture in photography and one of the first subjects that every student studying photography should photograph is themselves. In this assignment students are to make five (5) very distinct images of him or herself. Each image should express the concept or idea of “I”.

Hint: For images to be successful, shoot a lot of images. Pick a location that works for what is needed to convey the idea and then work it to death. No train tracks allowed or ducks 
and only natural light!  No Flash!

The work will be evaluated on concept and composition.We will not be printing these images.  This  assignment is inteded for use as the first media representation of your work.

Due:   Friday, September 7, 2012

Post your favorite 5 images on your blog before class on September 7th.

What:  Bring the files of all your self-portrait images on your hard drive to class. The more images you have the better. We will be use these files for our first lab exercise in LightRoom  and PhotoShop.

Remember, your metadata will need to show the images were taken between August 31 and September 7, 2012.
 
I will be more than happy to come in as early as you need on Friday if you need help preparing your images for the web.
