Alternate Final

Constructed

5+ 8.5x11 prints

In this assignment you will be asked to construct a tableau, fiction, a manipulated scene - or combine photography with other mediums such as drawing, sculpture, etc. Since the advent of photography a powerful characteristic has been its connection to the existing world. Although it has been demonstrated again and again that a photograph is deceiving, people still believe that it recreates "reality."

Consider these possible approaches:
tableau scenes
heightened theatricality
still-life photography
digital manipulations
text and image combinations
make your photograph 3D or combine it other mediums
