ASSIGNMENT - DOCUMENT A STRANGER / CREATE A STRANGER

You will create a portrait of a person using strategies of both documentary and fiction. Combine elements of unrehearsed / intuitive shooting with planned / constructed / directorial image making. Through a sequence and/or arrangement of the photographs, tell the story of the person - Who is this person? What do they look like? What do they do? Where do they live? Why are they interesting?

Shoot a minimum of 150 images. Select a minimum of 7 - 10 images that create a compelling portrait of this person. Text can be employed as part of your presentations, but the images should carry most of the narrative weight. You will be turning in 5 images total on April 17th.
