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.

Proposal

For my photo essay I would like to photograph some of the things that make this area so diverse and unique. To show this, I want to show some important parts of my life here as well as things that make this a special place, such as the farms, beaches, towns, schools, and hopefully New York City. I think photos of these things shown in the right sequence with a mix of black and white and digital images, could tell a pretty good story. The message I intend to tell with this is that in the relatively small area of Long Island there is a very diverse group of people and places that make it different than most other areas.
