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.

Kate: Final Images

Artist Statement:

My goal was to represent and contrast the stereotypes of masculinity and femininity in our society. I brainstormed a list of characteristics that came to mind for each such as “rough, dirty” and “crystals, appearance”. Using these words I conveyed each stereotyped characteristic through a series of images. Placing a masculine image side by side with a feminine one, I believe I created the story I set out to tell.
