personal story class: January 2010

Photographs are a visual expression of a concept or a simple documentation of an artist's expressions. Photography explores through a technical medium the relation between the real and the artificial. In this introductory class students will learn the basics of visual storytelling through black and white photography. Through the theme of the self, students will shoot, process, and print their work that will comprise their end-of-term portfolio. Shooting a number of rolls on 35mm cameras, students will produce weekly contact sheets from which they will cull their best photographs, all of which are self-reflective in subject matter. Other work is comprised of a process book in which they brainstorm and reflect on the learning experience, mistakes, and breakthroughs. Students are expected to participate in class by critiquing the works of others and listening to critiques of their work. Students gain insight into the concept of perception, that of others and their own, and how we all make meaning from this imagery.

Dear Ladies and Gentleman,

Please do not shoot your homework at Ross because the pictures do not come out well due to the light.

Thank You

Self Portrait Emulation

for my self portrait i want to express how sometimes i hold back and stay in my comfort zone. the aspects of the world can be frightening and sometimes i feel like it would be easier to stay where i am most conformable instead of venturing out and trying new things.
