We are beginning a unit on photojounalism. We'll begin by looking at specific photographers, moving onto aspects of composition and finally your own work. Please read the following carefully.
Monday and Tuesday are exploratory days. By the close of Tuesday in class, hand in your list of three people and on Wednesday, I'll let you know which one is yours. The objective is not to have duplicates.

Photojournalism / Photojournalists

1. Spend Monday and Tuesday exploring the works of the following photo journalists.
2. Choose three that appeal to you and write down their names in order of preference.
3. On Wednesday begin working on the assigned journalist. There should be no duplicates.
4. Project:
Research the biographical information on your journalist, noting significant influences in their work and philosophical perspectives.
Create a power point presentation consisting of seven slides: a title slide that includes an image of the photojournalist with his or her name and life dates, followed by 6 images taken by the journalist. Put your presentation on a jump drive!
Monday-Wednesday next week, you will present your research to the class

With accompanying notes, you will give an historical overview of your journalist, noting particularly the significance of their work. As well, you should be able to 1) accurately and objectively describe the images and 2) know the historical context of the work.

Again, you must have your work on a jump drive!

Possible topic choices. If there is someone else you wish to research, please let me know.
