This semester, we're going to be using this Blogger website for posting/sharing our assignments.
This offers us a huge advantage, because photography and photojournalism is really one of those skillsets where it helps to see what other people are doing. So use this website to not only see what your peers this semester are doing, but also check out what folks in your shoes last year did.
Beyond this point on the website, all the posts are from the summer 2021 and 2022 courses. The assignments were the same as yours (mostly), so feel free to scroll back through their photostories, environmental portraits and minor assignments to see what/how they did.
Note, this should only be used for inspiration, not copying. Not all of these assignments were winners, as you will probably see. Some of them left a lot of room for improvement, and I think you'll probably note that. But note HOW and WHY they had room for improvement. Lack of focus? Boring story? Shots too underexposed? Learn from it.
So just note, everything from this post and back is from last summer. Summer 2023 starts... now!

P.S. I think we're going to have a really great (short) summer semester together!
