Make a power point, with 15 images based on photographs on websites provided.
One important aspect of learning about photography, is to explore what other photographers are doing and what kinds of photographs they are making, why they are making them and how they make photographs yhat are compelling cohesive statements.
This assignment requires you to virtually visit individual photographers that participated in a recent exhibition entitled: ” Reimagined Landscapes”, and to critique, review and comment about the images (using your own words), that were compelling to you. I have listed these photographers below with links to their websites and indicted which work that I wanted you to comment on. Review ALL of the photographers listed:

- Charlotta Hauksdottir: (www.charlottaamh.com
- Links to an external site.) “Scapes” and “Imprints“

Your assignment is:
- Make a virtual visit to the photographers listed with the links that I provided.
- View the virtual examples of the photographers’ work indicated with the titles listed on their specific websites.
- Choose 15 images total from the virtual websites, that are compelling to you. (Please view ALL of the artists listed websites.) You must review ALL of them, even if you may not respond to their ideas.
- Also, Pick ONE favorite photograph and share why it is your favorite.
- Make a PowerPoint with those 15 images, (including the favorite), with the examples. Comment about each image and what your review/response is about each individual photograph. Please put your comments into the PowerPoint, next to or underneath each example. Use your own words. This is YOUR response to the photographs.
Some helpful guidelines when reviewing;(in your PowerPoint):
- What is the title of the photograph?
- Why did you choose it?
- How was it photographed?
- Describe any techniques that were used? (You know plenty of techniques now- show it in your review)
- What is the content of each photograph?
- How are the photographs cohesive? (How do they work together or alone?)
- What was your experience viewing and responding/reviewing each of the photographer’s work?
Complete the RESPONSE PowerPoint, include the specifics mentioned above with images of the examples chosen to illustrate your points.
