This should be a collection of the absolute best and brightest images past, present, and future. Your portfolio should consist of 7 or more images. Below each picture you will also describe the composition elements used on each photo, what you did to adjust the picture, why it is in your portfolio and where you took the picture.
2+ of these images may be pictures previously taken or printed for this class, though you are not required to reuse anything. The other 5+ must be new, fresh and fantastic and from your "Choices" assignment. Each individual photo will be graded accordingly. They should all be examples of the VERY best that you can do and will be graded more stringently than any previous assignment (both compositionally and in terms of development and printing). It is imperative you showcase your ability to shoot many angles of shots with many levels of camera composition (Review composition elements and types of shots if necessary).
A one-page reflection is also required. In this paper you need describe what you learned during your project. What did you learn about your printing, shooting, and photography in general. What was easy and difficult about your project? What would you do differently if you did it again? Which did you find more rewarding/challenging; shooting or darkroom? Finally, how far along do you think you have come as a photographer this semester?
Lastly you will need to come up with a professional way to display your portfolio; frames, mats, poster, tri fold, binder, booklets, rocket ships etc.
