COMMUNITY PHOTO ESSAY PROJECT:

Using a digital camera or mobile phone camera, create a photo essay using the guidelines outlined by the CAPTURE tutorials on the Open Media Lab website.

You must submit  ten photos to be critiqued by the class.

Create a profile of a community. Community can mean a neighborhood or specific place where people live or can mean a specific group of people (members of a religious community, political or social movement ie. Libertarians, Black Lives Matter activists, a modern dance dance troupe, transgender bike gang)

Guidelines:

• Take MANY pictures. Edit your photos down into 10 photos that tell a story about the community you have chosen to profile (beware choosing 2 or more photos that are too similar)
• You must use a variety of camera angles (wide, medium, close up)
• Capture the “human element” – take pictures of people in action
• ALL PHOTOS MUST BE ORIGINAL AND CREATED SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT
• All photos must include “idents” (For people – name, age, title. Otherwise, indicate the place or a short description of the subject matter.)

Presenting your photos:

You will present ten photos to be critiqued by the class. Use Utellstory to create a photo slideshow with “indents”
