Installation assignment

The next assignment:

"Create an installation larger than yourself and photograph it in multiple ways", will

NOT be due on Monday, Feb. 28. Thursday to Monday is not enough time. But, I would like you to bring studies for your ideas and the class will recommend lighting and make other comments. Most people have never attempted this in their practice, it is sculptural, conceptual and big but does not have to cost alot of money to produce. I want you to think about how 3-dimensional space gets collapsed into a 2-dimensional photograph. Position of the camera is key. Lighting is extremely important. It may be the first time that you make a picture where you are controlling everything. You will be acting as a director, lighting designer, stage set designer and photographer. Someone like Gregory Crewdson does this with a whole cast of helpers. I am asking you to do it alone. I don't want there to be people in the pictures.When we look at your still lifes you may find a kernel of an idea for the installation.
