Emulate

STEPS
1. Check out some Photographers and find one whom you want to use as inspiration. Get your choice Approved (so we avoid duplicates)

2. Research a bit about the Photographer and answer these questions:
– Name
– Active when?
– Active where?
– What kind of Photography are they mostly known for?
– Is there a particular photo /event / client that ‘made’ their career?
– What do you like about their photographs?
– What do you think defines their style?

3. Take a selection of photos that emulate (look a lot like) those of your photographer – They might not be exactly the same, but try to copy the type of lighting, subject, angles, locations – ask if you need suggestions on how to do this

4. Please explain in a short write up (or be ready to explain when presenting):
– What did you have to do to get your shot
– What was the most difficult part of getting the shot?
– What would you do different next time?
– What new skill did you learn?
– Would you choose the same photographer again, now that you have completed the assignment?

5. Assemble for presentation:
– PowerPoint, Prezi or such. If you are shy about presenting, you can record it as a video, or voice over for your Powerpoint – up to you.
– Include your images and the photographers
– If you include your text, follow the 3×5 rule (3 bullets with no more than 5 words each)

6. Present – Time will be set and posted on the White Board.
