11 Book/Calendar

When Margie Gillis visited LFAS in November, she advised young artists to explore what they are curious and even confused about. For the Book project, you are to seek out what interests you and explore it in depth through your lens in two different photographic mediums.

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.

  • Plan,
  • Journal Ideas
  • 2++ Contact Sheets, 2++ Different Mediums i.e. [film (B/W or colour), digital, medium format, lomo/toy, pin hole, cyanotype/lumen prints, experimental, camera-less prints... ]
  • 12 Prints in a Book/Calendar with a Cover (cover can be same image as one in book).
