01 Getting Started

  1. Read the introduction to Charlotte Cotton,The Photograph As Contemporary Art. Be prepared to discuss it in class next week, and consider, as you read, which of Cotton’s categories might best describe the way you’ve been working thus far, or hope to work in the future.
  2. Upload 10-25 images of your past work to share with the class community via Google Drive. See guidelines/specifications below.
  3. Consider purchasing any equipment within your budget that you may want to use for the Photographic Lighting assignment (optional). One of the best reasonably-priced investments you can make to step up your lighting game is a reflector. Consider this basic Raya ($24) model or this upgraded Impact 5-in-1 version ($50). Please note that no student is required to purchase new equipment; you can complete the lighting assignment using your on-camera built-in flash, mixed natural lighting sources, your smartpone flash or flashlight, etc. If you intend to purchase a flash unit or other lighting equipment and wish to do so for the next assignment, please email me ASAP if you have questions or require some guidance.
  4. Make sure you have the most recent versions of Adobe Bridge, Photoshop, and Lightroom Classic downloaded to your computer.
  5. Create your Course Drive Layout / File Management System.
  6. Double-check your camera settings.

Work-share Guidelines:

  • Select 10-25 images of your work to share with the class. These files should be JPEGs, ideally 2000px on the longest side. Upload to the Past Work Folder on Google Drive, in a subfolder with your name.
  • Your images can represent a single body of work, or multiple projects. If you work in media other than photography, feel free to share images of that work on its own or in additin to photographic images.

  18. For this week, begin by reading the introduction to Charlotte Cotton’s The Photograph As Contemporary Art and be prepared to discuss it in class. As you read, consider which of Cotton’s categories best describe the way you’ve been working so far or how you hope to work in the future. Next, upload 10–25 images of your past work to Google Drive following the provided guidelines, organizing them so they are easy for your classmates to view. While optional, you may consider purchasing equipment to improve your lighting for the upcoming Photographic Lighting assignment; a simple reflector is a cost-effective option, though you can also use your built-in camera flash, smartphone light, or natural lighting. Ensure that you have the latest versions of Adobe Bridge, Photoshop, and Lightroom Classic installed, and set up a clear Course Drive layout or file management system to keep your work organized. Finally, double-check your camera settings, including ISO, aperture, shutter speed, white balance, and battery, to ensure you are fully prepared for shooting assignments.
