Concentration Portfolio


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:

  • 10-15 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?
