Names names names

Dan the man asked me about the names of the photographers we looked at in class the other week.  I'm not sure why he didn't take note or bookmark them, but here they are again.

Sandy Skoglund
Cindy Sherman
Sally Mann
Shelby Lee Adams
Francesca Woodman
Richard Avedon
Annie Lebowitz
Zoe Strauss
Nan Golden
Mary Ellen Mark

Please look at their work. I'm seeing way too many portraits where it doesn't look like you have thoroughly considered the lighting, the poses, the composition. The people you know photos should look different than the people you don't know because you have the time and the cooperation.
Good luck and reshoot if you think this note applies to you. I have given you a lot of time on this assignment, so I expect great things.

The self-portrait project is coming soon, so start shooting and reshooting and reshooting.
