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.

Rose Kouzoujian: Proposal and Pictures to Emulate

Rose Kouzoujian

Photo Essay Proposal

September 22, 2010

For my photo essay, I want to focus on comparing and contrasting. I want to take pictures of two extremes and put them next to each other essentially taking two images and creating one. I really like the idea of comparing things, but I think it is boring to just have them individually and it doesn’t really make sense. In my images I am really trying to portray opposites and how opposite things really are. The opposites I was thinking of are…

Hamptons vs NYC

Old vs Young

Light(sunrise) vs Dark(sunset)

Life vs Death

These are all I have at the moment, but I am still brainstorming on more.
