                                           Shooting Assignment #9


Graphic Elements in your environment


For this homework assignment I’d like you to go out on the streets of New York City and photograph the letters of your full name.

Try and get as close as possible to the letter and isolate just that letter. 

A letter can’t be used twice.  In other words if your full name has 3 Bs then there has to be three completely different Bs.

Each letter also has to be from a different source.   No using the same sign for multiple letters!

Points will be deducted if you are not too close. 

You have a better chance of getting all the letters if you go to a busy commercial center.

You are allowed only ONE letter to be photographed inside!  Everything else MUST be photographed outside.

It doesn’t have to necessarily be an actual letter from a sign.  For example, if your name has a “Y” and you see a tree branch that’s shaped like a “Y” then use that.


Be creative and have fun with this!!! 




Shooting Assignment #9B


Word inspiration

I want you to create TWO photographs using the word ‘Transition’ as the inspiration.  Just as before…there is no wrong or right image for this but you have to be able to explain and defend why this your image is appropriate.
