The photographic brief – Maria Short (2011
The brief for our 1st assignment tells us to read the section entitled ‘The Photographic Brief’ in Short, M. (2011) Creative photography: context and narrative. Lausanne: AVA Publishing, pp.20–26.
THESE ARE MY NOTES:
- The brief defines the context of the final output
- May contain relevant information regarding the conceptual approach
- It can be simple: what you are taking a photograph of, where and why.
- Give yourself time to develop your idea through practice
The Student brief:
- Usually a defined period, possibly loose briefs to enable personal responses.
- They should initiate, develop and articulate ideas translating them into photography.
- Research and take photographs soonest to share with peers to get feedback – this encourages
- Read brief carefully
- Clarify own learning aims
