For this section you will engage in a photo-shooting exercise. It is best if there are at least two of you, but you can also make groups.
Split into two groups and take some time (at least 30 minutes) to develop your idea. You can use your phones to take the picture.
First you will have to decide what you wish to photograph and then write a short (one paragraph) description of the image. Ask yourselves the following questions:
Consider also ethical issues:

After you have your picture, and written the description, the groups can engage in interpreting the images:
Group 1 will give an interpretation of the photo taken by Group 2, after which Group 2 will read their paragraph. This will be followed by a discussion of the similarities and differences in intent and interpretation.
