CHOICES...







This is our last assignment before we begin to assemble our portfolios. As such it is your first assignment which is wide open. For this assignment you will be shooting two (2) rolls of film and be submitting 2 contact sheets and 3 prints. The topic for this assignment is entirely up to you. You can chose a specific subject, style, technique, theme, concept, etc. Examples from past semesters are: Macro photography (close ups), holga shots, portraits, animals, textures, shadows, leading lines, architecture, Seattle, nature, the 7 deadly sins, friends, sports, fire, water, love, and infinite others...

The 3 pictures you print from this roll will be included in your 8 image final portfolio. The other 5 images are entirely up to you, they can be new images, repeats from other assignments, the only requirement is they come from this term.
