Keywords: Greed, Passion, Servitude, Despair, Hope
In life we experience many conflicting emotions and urges, as well as their consequences. This assignment demands that you turn the camera inward in a self-reflexive mode and examine the consequences of your own life. Take the traditional ideas embedded within the tropes of self-portrait and make a visual statement that tells the world a secret that you have been keeping to yourself.
It is not necessary that you use yourself as a model in front of the camera, but you must pursue this alone with no assistance from friends or family. Intensely self-absorbed and pertaining only to you, make this your best possible work.
Use all the skills you have acquired in this course, applied rigorously through aesthetics, concepts and techniques.
Due: next week
Number of prints and final presentation will be as determined by your Tutorial Leader (or in our case, me as Course Director) in discussion with you.

Hi Elaine,
Just a quick question about the final assignment. Are we allowed to manipulate the image, either in the camera or in the darkroom (i.e. double exposure, negative layering, distorting the image in the darkroom etc.)?
Thanks, Maggie.

Final assignment, yes. But your first four better rock the technical planet with mad skilz!
My photo prof is kind of nuts.
When I'm done I'll scan the prints I've made for the class and post them here with the assignment instructions so you can all ~judge my work.
