Famous Photographer Assignment

Today you will be doing some research online while I start grading your 'Rules of Composition' assignment.
You are to search the web for 'Famous Photographers'.
I want you to find a photographer on the internet who's work you find appealing to your visual senses and write a half page essay on your photographer and their photos.
In this essay you must include what rules of composition are being used in the photographer's work and what type of mood or emotion their work evokes in you.
Are they a Landscape, Portrait, Documentary, Studio, Sports, or Abstract Photographer?
Describe what you see in this Photographer's work.
Are there any similarities or consistencies in this Photographer's work? What are they?
When were they born? Are they still alive?  When did their work become famous?
You will then save at least 10 samples of this photographer's work in a folder called 'Photographer' that you will create on your desktop.
You must save at least 10 examples of their work in this folder that you will later integrate into a Photoshop document with the your essay.
Make sure you take the time to find a photographer who's work you admire and are interested in.
Your essay and photos are due by Monday, March 12th.
Good luck!
