GOAL: Your goal for this project is to create intimate portraits of family (close friends may count as family). The images you create should reveal a private moment that your subject(s) would not share with just anyone, and should demonstrate the photographer knows the subject and has privileged access to their life that a stranger or acquaintance would not.
You will have time to shoot over Thanksgiving Break—you will have several weeks to work on this, so use your time wisely! For final critique, you will turn in 8 final prints and digital files. Your final prints must be larger than 8.5 x 11".
See below for examples of photographers who have photographed their families.
