Create a photo essay or story about a single location.

ASSIGNMENT

Find one place – whether it’s a train car on the metro or a single gallery in a large museum – and make a series of photos from that location.

This assignment can take the form of either a photo essay or photo story.

A photo essay communicates mood. For this format, you’ll arrange photos in a sequence to craft and communicate the mood you experienced.

A photo story communicates a chronological event. A classic example of this "point A to point B" format is a day in the life of something or someone: a linear manner, as the event happened.

Your goal is to show your unique perspective of the place. Remember, you’re not taking pictures, you're making pictures.

DELIVERABLE
