Project 2- Show Not Tell/Self-Portrait

Photographers are apt to draw inspiration from any number of places--our histories and dreams, long walks, paintings, music, novels, other people’s photographs, or the news. For this project you will be using yourself as inspiration to create a self-portrait, which will be in the form of a series of 5-7 images. The group of photographs may include portraits, landscapes and still lives.

I want you to imagine that you have somehow lost your ability to speak and the only thing you can use to communicate with others is your photographs. How would you represent yourself, or a certain part of yourself without words? You must show your audience through your photographs, not tell them using words. Your photographs must give a sense of who you are and what you feel (not just what you see or how you look).


Requirements:
Series of 5-7 images as self-portrait
No verbal or written description to your audience (classmates)
Final photos posted to blog before critique begins

Critique: Tuesday, October 18
