Please bring your project descriptions to class tomorrow. In working on them, you may want to look at the ideas and methodology of others. In addition to my recent blog posts, here's a helpful resource.
Photography Now.Net offers extensive portfolios of many diverse contemporary photographers. Go to the link above, click on the index of "Selected Contemporary Artists" and select Robert Adams and Sheikh Fazal. The latter may be helpful in looking at simple lighting used in portraits that could be similar to our lighting assignment. Also, here's the info on Sheikh's reasons for doing this project.
We've seen Robert Adams many times in class and at galleries. Here's a program about Adams on the PBS (Public Broadcasting System) Art21 site. It's about a 11 minute video, somewhat slow and definitely contemplative. Once you read Adams' bio, click on the "Watch Now" and then move to Chapter 9, The New West, on the bottom bar.
