Your Personal Style
Application for Class
This
is the application form for online photography class "Developing Your
Own Style" by Marcelina Martin. To help me get an understanding of your
photography background, future goals and class needs, please complete
and submit the online form below. You may also print the form and mail
it to me with examples of your work. Please be as detailed as possible
so that I can assess your needs and goal carefully. Some of these
questions may not seem pertinent to the class. All information weaves
an image of who we are, what we know and where we want to go. If you
are a beginner, do not be discouraged. Answer what you can. Everyone
please tell me as much as you can about yourself, your aesthetics, and
how art intersects with, reflects, touches the rest of your life.

Statement
Please
describe your present relationship to photography in detail. Such
description can include techniques,
photographers you admire or aspire to, aesthetics,
reason you photograph or love art, imagery and
symbols, etc. This can be
as broad and inclusive or as narrow and precise as
you like. Be sure to discuss the concepts that are
primary to your work. I want to get a clear idea of what
photography means to you and how you want to use
it.
Finally include
one image that really touches you deeply. You may
tell me anything you wish about it. The image can be
anything; a photograph, a magazine image, a
painting, whatever medium, but an image that you find
compelling.
