“The things that are close to you are the things you can photograph the best. And unless you photograph what you love, you are not going to make good art.” – Sally Mann
Goal: Create and print a series of 10 strong, cohesive photographs towards a series you will work on throughout the months of April and May. Your choice of subject matter is open—you get to choose what you want to make photographs about, upon receiving approval toward your submitted proposal.
For this project, You will work towards a long form project based on an approved proposal. The goal of this is to get you acclimated to the idea of working toward a project over time. For your final critique, you will turn in 10 cohesive, strong prints. At least one of these prints should be larger than letter size. Paper will be provided for this.
