Project 3: Interrupted Landscape

Final 
Minimum of 2 final prints
Digital Contact Sheet
Minimum of 60 images shot for editing

The Final Assignment is designed to have you looking at the landscape/society/world that surround you. Most people think of landscapes as being a documentation of pristine beauty as in the photographs of Ansel Adams. However landscapes can include suburbia, urban landscapes, seascapes, futurerama,fairytale landscape, inner landscape, emotional landscape,,,,,you name it.  For this assignment, you would be creating a inner landscape that exist in your mind. It could be photographing scenes where the presence of man has altered the natural landscape and you collect them together and edit them to sense of your own landscape; this alteration can be obvious or subtle. Your image could be representation of Utopia or dystopia. Your series of images should have connective thread through use of camera control, light, style, or subject [conceptual or physical]. Please creatively utilize photographs you shot for Shooting Assignment (Exploring a Space and Recognizing light)
