For the book/concentration, you are to create a series of photo of 12 images that explore a common theme.

Book- Grade 11s
2++ Contact Sheets & 12 Prints in a Book with a Cover
Photograph a basic topic (i.e. flowers) and compile a series of 12 photos in a book. Each image should have a strong composition and be able to stand on its own, but share a common thread. The book should be no more than 5 x 7 in size and must have a cover that reflects the contents of the book with a title and your name. Each image should be framed in a unique way that showcases your series effectively. You must take at least two "rolls" (min. 20 images each) or engage in 2+ shoots to construct your series and submit at least 2 contact sheets of your idea development.

Concentration- Grade 12s
3++ Contact Sheets & 12 Prints in a Series
Create a concentration that explores a concept thoroughly. Your topic needs meaning, visual integrity, and symbolizm. Your topic should be important to you. Possibly explore something that you are curious about, or stirs you, maybe something that makes you mad, or happy... Your series of 12 images must be eye catching, well composed, well constructed technically and have a sense of similarity as a whole series. How you display your concentration is up to you, but the overall meaning must be well considered and professionally executed.
You must take at least three "rolls" (min. 20 images) or engage in 3+ shoots to fully develop your series and submit at least 3 contact sheets of your concentration development.
First Contact Sheet is Due March 19th.
