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.

The theme for my project will be transformations

The transformation of someone waking up and going to school, getting ready for an event, transforming from childhood to adulthood

Transformations are crucial to the evolution of our society. I want the photos of before and after to be side to side so one can see the differences.
