In this analytical essay, youll explore the qualities that you think make a photograph interesting to read, in Graham Clarke’s sense. Select a photographic image that you personally would want to contemplate, for example, in your home, apartment, or dormitory room.
Begin with a single photographic image from the website photography-now.com to which you particularly respond. (Upload the image into your text.) Please select a contemporary fine art photograph (1960 to the present year).
Describe the image in detail.
Conduct some basic research on the cultural, social and/or political context of the image, using the website https://photography-now.com
(Links to an external site.)
and articles on the photographer that you can find by using Google Images.
Describe your personal response to the image what it means to you.
Generalize your response to explore what qualities in visual art photography are most meaningful to you.
Remember to include contextualized citations from your research that serve to explicate the image and your responses.
Generic Guidelines for an Analytical Essay:
All elements of your essay must support a unique, specific, focused thesis, i.e., main idea, key concept, or center of gravity.
Always create a specific title for your essay that reflects your thesis.
Construct your essay logically, rather than just jumping from one topic to another or listing them in serial fashion. Avoid the use of first, second, third as transitions. Concept mapping can help with this challenge.
Create transitions that clearly set forth the logical links between paragraphs.
Always caption your images:
Photographers name
Title of the image
Date
Carefully craft your introductory and concluding paragraphs.
Feel free to integrate narrative as well as descriptive writing into your expository writing, in order to make the writing more interesting and expressive.
