Image Making and Photography

On March 20th, we had a class discussion about photography, including the distinctions between professional, amateur, and instant photography as well as the benefits and downsides of each one. We also talked about the authenticity of an image, and then broke off into groups where we chose a professional photograph and then tried to recreate/reference it using an iPhone camera. We chose Cindy Sherman's iconic Film Still #14 and I think some of our iPhone photos were really successful.
