Your project is your safe space where you will receive constructive feedback from me and your classmates. It is a space to practice, learn, make mistakes and discover.

The project consists of three exercises, that you can do one by one. Start your project right away with assignment 1.

Assignment 1: From the lesson Find Your Topics and Style

Share the topics from your camera roll that you are capturing the most, and share what gives you joy in doing so. Also, share anything you notice regarding your style. Is there anything in particular you would like to learn and discover?

Don’t be afraid to give away your secrets, as you will always be the only one to do it YOUR way. There is no competition when you capture your life!

Assignment 2: From the lesson: Create Series, not Similars

Create and share a series of three new images that portray an activity from your real life. It can be anything, from brushing your teeth to walking the dog or chilling on the porch in your rocking chair.

Make sure to share a series and not similars.

These are examples of similars:

These are examples of two series:

Assignment 3: From the lesson: Shoot Images with an Idea!

This exercise helps you take your work to the next level.

Return to the same topic from the previous exercise or pick a new one.

Create a series of images/videos/illustrations that are a tad more than just portraying a moment. Express a concept or an idea, so the image can tell a story and be used more widely.

This an example of a simple series (that is enough for this exercise):

Finally, comment on at least one project of a fellow student and give some constructive feedback. This will help both you and the other, as you will learn to recognise better what works and what doesn’t, and so will they.

Win a Portfolio Review!

The first 15 students to add a project as I described and leave a class review will have a chance to win a written portfolio review of ten photos of their choice. I will provide feedback on the chosen pictures and their salability, and I will point you in the right direction if necessary. I will reach out to the winner via your project.

The Portfolio Review will also become available as a one-on-one via Superpeer.
