Journalism: Photo Essay Assignment

Photograph by John Tlumacki

In preparation for your own photo essay, I'm asking you to peruse and learn from existing exemplars. One such model is Boston's own The Big Picture. Another is the National Geographic Photography Awards.

1. Select at least 7 different Big Picture photo essays to view and read. Browse through and read the National Geographic photos as well.
2. Select your 3 favorites from each source and discuss their strengths in the context of our rubric's expectations.
3. Publish your synopses as a post to your blog. Title it Photojournalism Review.
4. If you'd like, you can check out Dr. Kefor's photo blog here.
