You'll base your project off of another artist's work. Research a photographer who's work intrigues you and develop a portfolio of pictures that borrows from their theme and uses some of their aesthetic principles. Make 10 prints that work collectively to describe the subject or theme of the project.
One of the images in the project needs to be an image that you have tried to re-create. Choose an image from the photographer who inspired your project, and reproduce this image as closely as possible. You'll make a rough draft and a final draft of this image.

Each of your images should relate to one another and work collectively to bring clarity to your point of view and feeling for your idea and subject. When you group your prints together, you’ll notice connections and themes or even a “style” in the way that you compose or print or use depth-of-field to describe what you see through your lens. A series of prints will often speak more clearly than a single image.
Project Proposal: Come up with two, potential ideas to pursue for your final project (one that's your favorite and one backup). In two paragraphs, describe each project idea and how you envision this idea evolving into a set of photographs. You don't need to storyboard or map out each of your photographs, but take a few sentences to describe what imagery comes to mind when you think of your project concept. Write a third paragraph that provides background on the artists you're emulating. Briefly describe their work and also talk about how you see your imagery differing from their pictures. You'll submit your proposal in Canvas.
