Composition: This photo is from a film still, which is where I got the idea for the composition. The face is tightly frame and close-up. There is a soft light coming from behind the subject. I wanted contrast, but nothing too extreme because I wanted the photo to be very soft.
Concept/Aboutness/Idea: I think the image is just about showing the close-up beauty of a subject without anything else interfering in the composition. It displays the softer side of the subject which is why the composition is so tightly focused on the face.
Method: I just got the subject in the correct pose and then had to play around with lighting in order to get it properly angled.
Motivations: My goal for this photo was to try and depict the scene from the movie as best as possible.
Context: I relates to other work because my inspiration was directly from the movie (500) Days of Summer. I think my work is slightly different because my subject's personality is shown, which is separate from the character in the movie.
Composition: For framing I decided to crop out the top of my head along with only showing a portion of my chest. I really wanted a large amount of contrast in the photo. The strong lighting behind the figure was the exact effect I wanted.
Concept/Aboutness/Ideas: I think the image is about someone being somewhat closed off for the fact that she is turned to the side. The composition adds to this because she is more of a silhouette and less detail is shown.
Method: This was included in the angles set of the assignment so I just played around with lighting along with the angle of my face while taking the photo.
Motivations: Overall I just wanted an interesting photo with drastic lighting when creating this image.
Context: I think my work is similar to other artists because many silhouettes have been composed, but I think mine is different because the subject is not entirely black and it shows a side of my personality. In relation to society, I feel like most people these days have a tendency to be closed off initially and I think the image reflects that.
Composition: I wanted to frame the subject so that part of her body was cropped out of the image. Also, I think the strong contrast highlights the subject so that it becomes the main focus.
Concept/Aboutness/Ideas: I think my image shows that the subject is present, but it almost appears that she's putting up a false persona. I think her facial expression displays this.
Method: For this image I wanted strong lighting and therefore strong contrast. I place my subject in front of a dark wall and on top of a black chair in order to impact the contrast more.
Motivations: My goal was to have the subject be the main and only focus of the photo.
Context: I think my photo brings a new perspective for the fact that there is nothing in the background to distract from the subject. I feel like a lot of photographs of portraits I have seen try to tell something in the photo other than the the personality of the subject.
Composition: The subject is framed by the tree around her. There is not the strongest contrast in the image, but I think the subject is slightly darker than the rest of the image.
Concept/Aboutness/Idea: I think my image is about highlighting the subject, but not too drastically. I think this is made possible by having her behind the tree a little.
Method: This photo was included in the small aperture set so I tried to get a setting that had objects in front of and behind my subject in order to have things clearly not in focus.
Motivations: I just wanted to make my subject look pretty and have her be the focus over other items.
Context: I think my work brings another perspective because the subject is in focus, but not as much as the tree in front of her.
