Photographer Paper Assignment:
This assignment has three
parts. The first part involves
analyzing the actual photograph.
Step 1) Pick one image from the show that you have chosen to visit.
While you are at the gallery looking at the
photograph, write down its title and photographer. Write down any observations you make, and fill out the
critique form (you may need more space than what is provided on your sheet for
your answers).
Step 2) At
home and in the library, do some research on your photographer. Who are they? When were they the most active? What kind of photography do they typically produce? Were they part of any particular
movement? What kind of camera were they using? Try to create a short biography of their life and work.
Step 3) Create
a short essay (1-2 pages) by combining the information you have collected from
Step 1 and Step 2. If you need
some help organizing your essay, begin by stating who the photographer is, what
kind of photography they do, then talk about the photograph you saw in the show
and your observations of it.
Finish up the essay by giving some remarks – how did learning more about
the photographer effect the way you feel about the photograph you chose? Do you
wish you could have seen more of their work? Etc, etc, make up some of your own
conclusions.

ReplyDelete"National Geographic photographer Michael Yamashita will provide a rare and fast-disappearing view of Tibet through images from his new book, Shangri-La. His work captures the essence of the elusive and mythical paradise of Shangri-la as imagined in James Hilton’s elegant and moving novel, Lost Horizon, as well as the often harsh reality of the land that inspired it."

"...These precious objects are literally references to their past lives, backgrounds, cultures, and femininity. These women treasure their objects not only because they represent their lives back in Mexico, but also because these objects represent a piece of the past that can be held onto by future generations. Each woman and her object tell a unique story; taken together, they form a visual narrative that has a life of its own."
