Photo Essay Topic HELP!!

[Aki]

Hey guys I have this Photojournal 12 Photo Essay I have to do...I have tons of time to do it (due May 9th)..but i need to to pick an original topic before I start because it's a big chunk of my grade! A photoessay isn't a written essay, it's just a bunch of photography put together regarding one topic. I NEED MORE IDEAS REGARDING A TOPIC, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS?? I have a few, but they aren't very original.

Here is the criteria to help you understand:

1. Select your topic based on a personal interest, an abstract concept, a place, a style f photography, anything which you can return to several times with your camera.

2. Make a shoot schedule for your first film giving your title and five sample photo descriptions along with locations and any special quipment needed

3. The final full photoessay should be made up of the following:
-two or more contact prints to show the scope and sequence.
-four to six 8 x 10 prints
-one 11 x 14 print using a fine grain 124 ISO or slower film.
-an option is to submit one 8 x 10 photoshop print in place of one of the four to six listed above.

A maximun of 3 (minimum of 2) must be drymounted, and at least two should have some special treatment such as hand colouring, toning, sabattier effects, texture screening, dodging...
THANKS!! :143:
