There are many ways to approach a series of photos. The first would be to shoot several pictures of the exact same subject from various angles. You could take that up a notch and do this with the same object from various angles in various settings. Such as what Georgia was doing with her bridesmaid dress and tea pot. Another way would be to shoot various subjects but relate it to the same topic. For example you could do the beach, and shoot pictures of the water, sand castles, sun bathers, etc. Yet another way you could do a series is of various subjects but portray a certain mood. Such as in one of my earlier photos I took a photo of a Mcdonalds clerk who appeared to hate her job. I could shoot various pictures of people who also hate their job.
B. Final Project: Your final project in this class will be designed by you. If you could tackle any photography project, what would it be? You could combine other media with photography (video, sculpture, drawing) or you could take one of your earlier assignments and expand it to create a larger project. If you are expanding an earlier project or creating an entirely new series of images, shoot for a series of at least 5 images. Describe an idea you have for your final project.
I've had quite a few ideas for my final project that i would like to mention. The first being an inspiration off one of the most recent photos i took of the nuclear holocaust of the capital building. With 2012 approaching the apocalypse is on every ones mind. It also is transitioning to winter right now where all the beautiful foliage is dying off, which would make for some interesting/ugly/depressing compositional elements.
Another idea I have for a final project deals with my fascination of popular culture. Basically i find it interesting how everyone likes the same thing over and over again. My example specifically would have to deal with corporate take over of towns. They are becoming polluted and welcomed with open arms to towns. Every town is losing its character and basically becoming just another place with a McDonald's. I wanted to try and capture this with a large serious of McDonald's in various towns and then do a multidipdig(if thats a word) off all the McDonald's next to one another. I also thought about trying to photo shop a street where there would be several McDonald's on one side and then several Starbucks on the other. There are other possible outlets for a final project as well but I need to develop them a bit more and will discuss them with you further in class.
