The Photo essay is a collection of images that are stylistically or thematically unified in order to tell a story. We will explore the idea of story and how to capture the audience and tell a particular tale. The class will cover basic photography, and the students will be able to tell a fiction or non-fiction story. The class will shoot on 35mm cameras, and we will critique and discuss each other’s work, as well as looking at master photographers’ works and essayists. The year will end with a final gallery showing of the students’ work.

With this video and set of images I really like how the photographer chose to take an everyday thing, in this case faces, and took a closer look at it to show the finer details. I would be interested in doing something like this for my project, probably not with faces, but with things that are seen all the time, but not often looked at closely. Even if that is not my entire project, I definitely would like to use it for parts because I think it is an interesting technique.
