Concentration Portfolio
You will create a series of photos that are interrelated either in a technical way or thematic way. You will create a Google Slide or Power Point Presentation. Your presentation will include:
-
15 images made by you pertaining to your concentration (this is if you are doing basic digital images – the number can be reduced if doing darkroom or elaborate Photoshopping – consult with MrL)
-
An artist statement that explains your concentration
-
The inclusion of one well-known photographer that do similar work to yours (at least 4 images from the photographer). No written explanation of the photographer is required – some of the example portfolios do have explanations. This was the student’s choice to do this.
Here are two questions to guide your writing:
What is the central idea of your concentration?
How do your images support this idea?
