Assignment 04- A Longer View
Assignment 04- A Longer View
Submission Requirements:
6 to 10 final photographs, thoughtfully sequenced- 500-word written evaluation- Upload your work on E-
Learning- peer and tutor feedback
Project Brief:
Create a series of photographs that engage with a narrative tied to a place or landscape. This can be based on
fact or fiction, and your approach may be forensic, performative, documentary, symbolic, or constructed.
Choose a story that allows you to explore atmosphere, memory, and interpretation through image-making.
This is your opportunity to respond to a place as both subject and symbol—allowing your photographic voice
to bridge the past and present through storytelling, atmosphere, and interpretation.
Shooting Strategy:
Lighting: Natural or artificial?- Mood: Color, black and white, or altered tones?- Style: Documentary, staged,
symbolic, or constructed?- Techniques: Digital, analog, rephotography, long exposures, mixed media?
Start thinking about a shooting strategy and begin working on your project with some test shoots. Try to
incorporate techniques and materials sympathetically to compliment your ideas. How you do this will once
again depend entirely upon your chosen narrative or conceptual approach. It may be pertinent to include text
or other media (or objects) that relate directly to the narrative that you are investigating. Once you have made
some preliminary progress, discuss your ideas and strategies with the rest of the group via the VLE forum.
Within the evaluation, refer to specific images and explain your working process. Again, consider your audience
and their prior knowledge of the subject your work is trying to address. You may need to supply your audience
with an additional narrative about your subject; however, this information should compliment, not override,
your photographs. Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of your project and how successfully you believe it
addresses the themes that you set out to explore.
