Week #7 – Estimates

Assignment #7

1. Photo Assignment – Produce a commercial-style photo shoot with the theme of “Roadtrip”. The images must be produced using a compact or disposable film camera with a single 36-exposure roll film. Choose three words that encapsulate the theme of the shoot (e.g. friendship, sunny, adventure, love, freedom, etc) and base your shoot around those keywords. Be as specific about these three words as possible to help refine your vision. Print 4×6 images of all your images and bring in an edit of the best 24 shots to class. Do not bring larger prints or proof sheets. They must be 4×6  prints. This assignments counts as 1/2 of your midterm.
