Jordan

This week we talked mostly about strengthening the content of your images so that it communicates more about the people you are working, which will in turn will talk about feminism. 
The four words about feminism you came up with are:
independent, equality, intentional living, well in formed, considerate. 
Focus on making strong images. Consider using a medium format to help you think less about just the formal elements of the images. Ask the people you are working with where feminism manifests it self in their life, and try and work that into their photograph. Get closer (we talked about having Michelle stand so that she fits into the posters that were above her head), take them out of the bed room. The best response was to the image of the guy out side. Look at that image and see what is more successful about it for you, and think about what you did differently when making it. 
Take a look at all kinds of typologies, think about what makes them a typology. Look at Sanders and how he works with people. 
Shoot five times as much as you have been. Try not to encumber yourself.
