Due: 09/23/08
Please email me with any questions.
Enjoy.
Johannes Heinke:
Carry a camera on you every day for the next week and photograph your day to day experiences as an exchange student. What differences do you see in life here. Do not worry about precious photographs but try to shoot a ½ roll a day of everything you are observing, people, places, things and yourself. Let the camera become your diary.(look at Robert Frank, Lee Freidlander and Garry Winogrand)
Sarah Louden:
Listen to a song you love on repeat. Take photographs that reflect the mood and feeling of that song. Look at Uta Barth and Jack Pierson's Photographs.
Clementine Martinez:
Visit the Cloisters. Explore what negative and positive spaces means there. Look at Daido Moriyama's Photographs.
Gabriel Escobar:
Take another day trip with the girl you photographed. Document the trip from the moment you see her til the moment you part, explore what it means to make a subject comfortable. This is a good place to go. Richard Avedon was a master communicator, read more about him and learn how he interacted with his subjects.
Paul (Min Sik Kim):
Ask your friends in New Jersey to revisit the place you discussed in class. Photograph that place and them in it. Ask them to tell you a memory they have about the place. Look at landscape photography, how does the photographer make the landscape dynamic?
Jennie Fries:
Go back to Coney Island and photograph the people, structures and places that are new and photograph the people, structures and places that are old. What is the difference? Look at old photographs of coney island, how does a place change over time?
Min Sik Moon:
Ask your girlfriend to stand against a white wall. Photograph her for an hour against the wall and try to pull a full range of emotions out of her. Compare those photographs with snapshots of her from an album. Bring them to class. Look at the work of Irving Penn, Richard Avedon and Chris Buck.
Alexa MacFarlane:
Photograph Time Square and the surronding area at night. Bring a tripod and experiment with and with out it. Look at Henry Wessel's book "Night Walk"
Olena Slyesarenko:
Pick four people. Have them hold their breath for as long as they can and think about a person who broke their heart. Photograph it. Afterwards ask them to give you an image or drawing of the person they were thinking about. Look at Rinko Kawauchi and Zen Sekizawa's photographs.
Kristin Holbrook:
Ask two friends to write down their dreams or fantasies and photograph them acting them out. Think outside the realms of normality. Look at Floria Sigismondi
Mathais Schmitt:
Spend an afternoon in East River Park. Approach strangers and ask to take their portrait. Ask them why they are there and get their story. Look at Todd Papageorge, Todd Selby and Alex Soth.
Kate Kennedy:
Go into a friend’s apt and ask them to leave for an hour. Photograph only their possessions. Afterwards ask the friend to describe what these possessions mean to them. Why they have them? Looks at William Mebane and this project specifically.
