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.

I really liked the first chapter "family farm" (and don't really recommend the other ones, kinda weird). This inspired me because I really liked the pictures of the country and rural areas and since we live in a fairly farm-y part of long island I thought maybe I can do my project including some pictures of that. I also really liked how the photographer added video clips into the story.
