Project 4: Documentary

© Lauren Greenfield from her series Girl Culture

Photography II
Project 4: Documentary Photography


GOAL: Your goal for this project is to create and curate a series of successful images that document or "bear witness" to something in your life: consider what kinds of locations, people, or viewpoints you have access to in your own life.

You will write a proposal towards your project in class. Once you receive approval on your proposal, you may begin shooting.

Consider what impact this project could have. Can you use your camera and images to give a voice to others? Can you use your camera to facilitate empathy by helping others understand another culture or way of life? Or do you simply want your photographs to serve as visual record of a place, time period, group of people, etc?


DUE DATES:  Please note that due dates are subject to change and if so, will be updated accordingly here on this online handout as well as OnCampus. Please pay attention during class for any announcements regarding deadline changes or extensions.

Monday, March 18th: 300 images (minimum) shot -- PDF contact sheet in Google Drive labeled lastname_firstname_p4_cs_1. This is due by midnight.


Monday, March 25th: 150 images (minimum) shot -- PDF contact sheet in Google Drive labeled lastname_firstname_p4_cs_2. This is due by midnight.

​

  • 5 final prints on large paper.
