Write a Photographic Essay DRAFT



With a digital camera in hand, visit a busy public place—an airport, bus station, restaurant, sports event, concert—and take a series of photographs. (Or visit a quiet public place: a river, a park, a garden. . . . ) Write down your time of arrival and any observations you care to make while you are on the scene. Spend at least an hour documenting your observations and note the time you leave. Then, at your leisure, write a photographic essay based on your experience.

  • Format your essay in MLA style
  • Save all the stages of your writing and turn in all preliminary drafts, notes, lists. . .
  • Place at least five photographs into your final draft to illustrate your essay
  • Subject release forms
  • Be sure to devote at least some writing in your final draft to description, narration, comparison and contrast, and analysis
  • Print two hard copies of your final draft and save one copy as a PDF
