Photography is more complicated than click and shoot. It is about telling a story.
Even simple portraits can tell complex narratives. These photographs convey ideas,
concepts, and paradigms. Sometimes it is capturing a specific moment while many
times, it is staging a set or multiple set, or editing multiple images through darkroom
or post production manipulation. Please take some time and browse through these
articles and ted talk for a better understanding of visual storytelling.

on your own, some of the links relating to photography I have introduced previously.
** You should also use the tips and guides in the Resources Module. The Tips doc has a list of vocabulary that will be very useful in writing the paper.
You may choose from this list of photographers. I am introducing you to many
contemporary artists from all over the world. These are photographers that work on
their personal art projects AND make a living in the advertising/commercial world.
You can choose works from their commercial projects or their personal work.
