Landscape : "My Rochester"

Skyline Photograph - Rochester Ny Skyline In Black And White by Tim Buisman

Start this project first by creating a new blog post with the following:


Examples of landscapes and cityscapes that you think might work well as inspirations for your Landscape : “My Rochester” photo essay. 

You should plan to take new photos for all of your photo essays, but for now, it is ok to post 2-5 photos you previously took or images captured from the internet that you may potentially use as substitues in this first post.


Include in your post: a few sentences describing potential subject matter you may want to photograph for this project, as well as how you plan to photograph this subject matter. Also, include a few sentences analyzing your current strengths and weakness regarding photography, and how you will use these to your advantage in your photo essay. This is just an in-progress post the actual 
Lanscape : "My Rochester"  project must be a separate post.


Project Requirements:

1). 10-12 quality, edited (if necessary) photographs of landscapes and/or cityscapes united by the theme “My Rochester”

2). Photos are to be black & white using the settings and filters in your cell phone or camera.

3). Photos should fit all criteria of good photography discussed up this point. (ie. composition, defined vantage & focal points; proper lighting & contrast; interesting angles; clear subjects in focus; a sense of narrative that tells a story; backgrounds that adds to, rather than detract from, the subject of the photo)

4). 250 word artist statement in the same blog post as the final 10-12 edited photos


Here are some examples of powerful photo essays:
