What purpose will it serve in your portfolio? Do you want to highlight your
conceptual thinking, your design sense, your lighting skills
Subject Matter: Literally what will you shoot?
Style: What will it look like? How will you use photographic style to communicate
emotion and point of view? Find at least one example and include at least one
image with your description.
Lighting: how will you light your project? This may be daylight.

Final Project Statement
Topic: Street photography allow a person to experience new locations and the history behind them. Even though New York is a cultural melting pot, each neighborhood has its own micro-society. Some are noticeable as soon you arrive like the Jewish community. Others must be picked apart which entice me to build a story.
Subject Matter: It would be great to make a compilation of sorts that compares the different districts of New York and the people in them. For example, we can use the different bodegas, schools, shopping centers, and homes.
Style: It’s best to narrow the places to that have mixed blue and white occupations. I want to start small and get a feel of the topic. So far, I’m thinking of tackling the social and economic gap in the city.
Lighting: I’m going to be relying mostly on daylight and some indoor lighting. I should use a speed lite to fill in any harsh shadows if found for the latter.
