The goal of the Final Project is to create a series of 10 related images on a theme.
You may choose to do either:
A series of portraits or self-Portraits OR
A still life series
OR working outside during the day a series on Mirrors (reflections) and Windows.
First decide which assignment(s) you most enjoyed. Then consider: do you have people to work with? Do you feel most comfortable working at home given cornona virus? Do you prefer to take photos outside?
Inspiration for Self-portraits:
Joel Meyerowitz did a self-portrait a day during last spring’s lockdown. Note how many use window light!
The New York Times ran a story on photographers working in quarantine. See some of the Joel Meyerowitz photos there.
Inspiration for Still Life:
A minimal approach – Hitoshi Fugo in the above NYT article
A maximal approach – Lucia Fainzilber The Cookbook
