The Research Paper is a formal 5-page paper that allows you to demonstrate your ability to research and discuss the life and career of a photographer selected from the Research Paper Gallery of Photographers.
In addition to discussing the photographer’s life and career, you will also identify and discuss your chosen photographer’s specific contributions to the history of photography.

An Important Note About Wikipedia
Avoid using Wikipedia as a source you list on your Bibliography of Works Cited page!
Although Wikipedia can be used to gather general information and to identify the names of primary sources worthy of further research, the site’s open editing function allows anyone (even you!) to alter the information that appears in an entry.
As a result, Wikipedia is not reliable and should never be used as a primary source or cited in any college-level paper.
