You may try to replicate an image exactly, or you may copy their style. In other words, if you were asked to an object of your choice the way they would, what would your image be? On these slides you will include: 1. 4-6 of your own images emulating your photographer/photojournalist. 2. Captions or identifications for each photo. 3.
