Beginning Photography

Assignment - Light

For this assignment you must shoot at least 72 images and produce two mounted prints which deal with light as the subject.

Light is the single most essential element in photography and seeing since everything else is dependent upon it.  Consider the physical properties of light.  Light can be:

TRANSMITTED           REFLECTED      SPECULAR        DIFFUSED  CONCENTRATED       OBSCURED

Your assignment is to observe, respond to, and photograph light in the world around you. Your images may be as abstract or representational as you wish. Pay particular attention to the technical processes which are necessary to the successful completion of this assignment.  Focus your camera and enlarger carefully, expose and process your film properly, carefully control the contrast in your finished prints, etc.

The goal of this assignment is seeing/thinking visually and understanding light as it appears photographically.
