so excited about all your work this class! its amazing to see how far you all come with every crit and the more shooting/thinking you all do. i feel like a proud mother hen.
as you all find commons threads throughout your photographs, one great thing to do is find photographers that excite you visually and even conceptually. i would like all of you to find one new photographer every week that you like. this photographer does not have to, but can relate to the given assignment every week. the AIB library is a great source for this. freshmen year i spent hours there looking through photo books for ideas and inspiration. for the next assignment titled Narrative here are some of my personal favorite books that might help you all idea wise:
Robert Parke Harisson - The Architects Brother
Laura Letinsky - Now Again
Gregory Crewdson - Twilight & Beneath the Roses
David Hilliard - David Hilliard
Erwin Olaf - Erwin Olaf
Julie Blackmon - Domestic Vacations
Francesca Woodman - Francesca Woodman
Niki S Lee - Parts
some other photographers using narratives within their images: Cindy Sherman, Tina Barney, Jeff Wall
there are also so many students at AIB doing work with constructed images and narratives, take a look around, ask upperclassmen to look at their work, they are all great outlets and sources of knowledge for you all.
keep making amazing images and bring in as many images as you can, as well as contacts!
