27 Most Famous Photographers You Need to Know (2024 Update)

Using We Video, your phone, an audio recorder and images from a photographer you get to choose, you will be creating an audio slideshow that we will watch as a class.

Choose a list form the link above to get started.

Here’s the information you will need to present:

One paragraph for each of these that you will read.

• Their Name.
• A brief bio: where they lived, where they went to school, if they went to school or were self taught, major accomplishments, where they died, if they died.
• What type of photography are they known for (Sports, Landscapes, Portrait, Street Photography, War, etc.)
• How they made a few of their famous works.
• What inspired them to make photographs?
• What kind of camera equipment did they use. Make, Model, Lens types, etc.
• What makes their photography unique.
• Which photo did you try to copy and why?

Step 2: Do as much research as you can on your photographer. Feel free to copy and paste information, but when you write the paragraphs put it in your own words, your own voice.

Step 3: Write out the paragraphs of what you will talk about in your audio slideshow. Think of yourself as a host of a radio show.

Step 4: Once you have your written paragraphs completed, find images that will play while your recorded audio plays. Think about how each photo would be on the screen for between 5 and 10 seconds.

Step 5: Record the audio of your reading your paragraphs. Read it like you are presenting. But you have the luxury of being able to record it as many times as you want. You will not be reading this live, it will be a recording.

Step 6: Load the audio of you reading your paragraphs into We Video. Load the images too. Here’s the link for help using WeVideo

Step 7: Add some background music by going to freeplaymusic.com

Step 8. Export your project.

Step 9: Upload your finished file into Google Classroom.

Step 10: Choose one photograph from your famous photographer to copy as much as you can. Recreate that photo for an upcoming photo challenge.
