Photographs are a visual expression of a concept or a simple documentation of an artist's expressions. Photography explores through a technical medium the relation between the real and the artificial. In this introductory class students will learn the basics of visual storytelling through black and white photography. Through the theme of the self, students will shoot, process, and print their work that will comprise their end-of-term portfolio. Shooting a number of rolls on 35mm cameras, students will produce weekly contact sheets from which they will cull their best photographs, all of which are self-reflective in subject matter. Other work is comprised of a process book in which they brainstorm and reflect on the learning experience, mistakes, and breakthroughs. Students are expected to participate in class by critiquing the works of others and listening to critiques of their work. Students gain insight into the concept of perception, that of others and their own, and how we all make meaning from this imagery.

ideas

The topic I chose:
1. Your two closest friends
2. One trait you admire in each of them
3. The friend that most like you
Ideas:
The friends I chose to be in my shots are Jingbo and Steve, who are my closest friends in Ross. Both of them have their own advantages. For examples, Jingbo is good at Maths and Steve is good at playing basketball. These two trait are the traits that I admire in each of them. I want to illustrate and portray each of them by taking pictures on how they can do on the aspect they good at.
I think Steve is the friend who most like me. I would like him to do something that I usually do to illustrate the similarities of both of us.
