Nowadays, there are a variety of ways to edit, revise, and modify your photography endeavors beyond the darkroom (although the darkroom is still a viable option). Evaluate the various options that exist with media, technique, and process for editing, revising, and modifying your images. Why might someone choose one technique over another? Provide an example to help illustrate your answer. You have been asked to create an exhibition level series of photographs for your graduate-level photography class. Money is not an issue and there is no budget; however, it is imperative that your images are put together in a way that protects them from contaminants or discoloration and are displayed in a way that is appropriate for a very high-end gallery where customers will be looking to pay top dollar for the very best art and photography. How would you prepare your images for such an event? Explain what factors you would need to consider in order to accomplish this and identify how you will prepare and install these photographs, including what the process would involve.
A classmate in your photography class missed several days of class, including the day that the instructor explained the artistic statement. Your classmate asks you to help fill them in so that they can create an artistic statement for an upcoming project. How would you explain this concept and the purpose behind it? What would you tell them to include in their statement? Explain.
Imagine that you are planning to display 30 photographs at an upcoming art exhibit. In an effort to stay organized, you want to create a loose budget estimation. You decide that the first step in doing this is listing the main areas that will need to be included in your budget. Create a list of at least of the three main parts of your budget and provide one example of an item that would fall under each area.
Choose a photograph that you have personally taken or that you have found online. Evaluate and explain what type of mounting, matting, and framing would best complement and highlight this image and why. Describe each aspect that you would use (matte or shiny mat, wood frame, metal frame, etc.) and provide a copy of your image with your answer.
