Outside Prompt Shoot - Literary magazine - Due Tuesday, Feb. 21

I would like all of you to complete a Prompt Shoot outside of school. This is unusual because we are working with the staff of the Bowie Literary Magazine to get some images for their publication. The Literary Society has been working hard to revive this publication and I am a complete supporter of their efforts.

You will have until Feb 21st for this outside shoot assignment. It will also be a MAJOR grade for me. You are NOT required to submit your effort to the Lit Mag, but if you want, I will work with you on getting it over to them. You will be required to turn in THREE (3) images, each representing a different prompt listed below.

The best way to shoot this type of images is to not overthink, but you do have to plan. Below you will find a list of "prompts" in the form of the name of the poem/written piece. Your job will be to interpret it however you think, very similarly to what we do with prompt shoots. This is a fairly long list because it would be great to have images representing a number of these to help the literary magazine staff have options when piecing together the product. You will get credit in the Lit Mag and your name will appear in the magazine. This is a great publication opportunity.

Here is the list, in no specific order:

According to Alice
A cap and gown
Badland
Barren Discovery
Charlie
Child
Common Lost Love
In the Woods
The Night After
The Moonflower
Breathe
For you
Anthill Cast
Deep in the Heart
Coming Home
Fruitless Trial
Cosmic Planning
Safe Haven
Ada Michigan
Things you don't notice, but I do
I believe in Makeup
The is nobody driving
The Paper Forest

In addition, there are sections to the Lit Mag this year and potentially there could be images created to go with those divider pages. Here are the working section titles:

The Ordinary World
The Call to Adventure
Crossing the Threshold
The Path of Trials
Return with the Elixir

Your submission must be school appropriate, but other than that, it is up to your interpretation. If you want to talk about ideas with me, I would be happy to work with you. If you decide to send in your work, you may chose to include a title of your piece, or it will be listed as "untitled".

You may use all of my equipment, including specialty lenses if we talk about your ideas. I also have tripods if you need them.

Last year the theme was: High School; Twisted Fairytales and Other Terrors of Growing Up
Here are some of the images selected from students in my classes:

See how creative they are - find a way to do this!!
