it's an all night party that we're getting into
The camera has an excellent way of capturing emotion, but it can also fake emotion. I chose to portray a lie that the camera can tell by exaggerating the emotion of sadness. In filmmaking, fake tears are often used to depict sadness. I chose to mimic that through photography.
Rather than choosing to take a picture at eye-level with the subject, I decided to complete the “Angles” prompt by shooting from above. I found that this made for a more attentive, curious subject. It makes the camera feel more present.
Sometimes meeting someone new can feel completely strange. Introducing yourself to a stranger isn’t so different from introducing yourself to an entirely different species – you need to learn how best to interact and how best not to.
Serenity means something different for everyone. To me, environment is a huge part of serenity. This picture of Cafe Du Nord features calming lighting and pleasant objects. Since music also has a large effect on my mood, I thought to include instruments in this image, as they are serene to me.
The three people in this photograph follow the role of odds – The 3 subjects making for a satisfying picture.
This photo represents the confrontation of age. The main subject is attempting to look back at her younger self, but is forced to live in her present.
As the sun was about to set, I took this picture capturing the heat of a hacky sack tournament. Shooting photography at golden hour heightens the color properties of oranges and blues, making for a “glowier” feel.
Including negative space in a photograph adds intrigue. In this case, you’re forced to look further into the photograph, all of the negative space drawing your eye to the subject.
All of the subjects in this photograph silhouettes – a world swallowed by shadow. This adds an air of mystery to the picture – you aren’t really sure of the story, but you want to know more.
For the “Eyes” Photo Blog assignment, I chose to take a picture of my dad’s eye. The shallow depth of field allows his eye to take center stage; every element drawing the viewer towards his eye.
