Sample Assignment: Emulation

Instructions

For this project, you will select a photographer and try to emulate, or imitate, their work. You should have a total of five final images for this project that are connected to your photographer, making your best effort at recreating their photographs. 

You must also create a presentation with research that supports your emulation or mimicry of the photographer's images. 

This presentation must include: 

  • A brief biography of your photographer, including basic facts, major achievements, and any controversies 

  • An analysis of your photographer's major projects, including subject matter, intentions, and aesthetics

  • Your own images and some information on how they are connected to your photographer, whether through aesthetics, subject matter, or both.

  • Include a slide about this experience. How did you go about trying to photograph like your chosen artist? What challenges did you run into, and what did you learn?
