Written Statements P1
Composition: I wanted to frame the subject with the leaves and the small portion of white space below her to make her pop out better. I wanted the perspective to be from below her to give the feeling that she is climbing or hanging.
Concept/Aboutness/Idea: I think my image is about a place in my imagination, but it is also mixed with childhood memories. Overall, I wanted to get a playful, young, and whimsical feel.
Method: When I tried to think of a place from my imagination the only thing that came to my mind was fairy tales and childlike concepts. Somehow climbing trees popped into my head. I tried different angles to make her appear more in a far away place that could possibly be in my mind.
Motivations: My intention was to show that besides the tree branches there is no context of where she is and that it could be a place in anyone's imagination
Context: I think the angle that I took my photo makes it different. I feel like I have probably seen images of people in trees, but I think the perspective is unique.
Composition:I think that the focus on the cake gives emphasis to the fact that it is there, but draws your eye back to the subject
Concept/Aboutness/Idea: When I took this photo it was entirely candid so I wasn't initially going for any specific emotion, but I think the facial expression along with the guy in the background adds to the feeling in the photo.
Method: I didn't really direct anything or think it through, initially I was just taking pictures of the cake we just made and I thought I could get more out of an image than that. It was very impromptu
Motivations: I didn't start out with any certain intention, initially it began with my fascination in how the sprinkles looked and it emerged into more.
Context: I think the image says two things about our society. First, I think it speaks about how on our birthday we want everything to go well and every single person to give us attention and be nice and when this doesn't happen we are immediately disappointed in how the day turned out. Also, I think it speaks about how in our society getting older is greatly feared and birthdays may not be everyone's favorite day due to the fact that they are another year older.
Composition: I wanted to try and capture as much as possible in this scene because everything seemed so interesting to me. I tried to emphasize the creepy location with contrast and lighting.
Concept/Aboutness/Idea: I think my image is about the places that are overlooked or unkempt when there is still something unique and interesting about them.
Method: I came across this creepy room in one of the buildings here on campus and i looked around and even better there was a pull chain light that I knew would add to the image. Other than that there was no brainstorming.
Motivations: Overall I wanted to capture the feeling that I felt when i came across this place. The feeling that it is somewhat secretive and maybe private.
Context: I feel like this is different because it doesn't have all that much context and maybe doesn't even tell a story, but overall just a nice, interesting image.
Composition: I tried to frame and zoom in on the decay without giving any more context. I also wanted the side of the building to become darker to add to the decay.
Concept/Aboutness/Idea: I think my image is about how even something decaying can be extremely interesting and pretty regardless of the fact that the paint is chipping and the wood is falling apart.
Method: I observed the environment and found this side of my garage that I found interesting. I thought the lighting was hitting the subject perfectly so I didn't add any more.
Motivations: My goal was to make the decay beautiful and emphasize the details.
Context: I think this image brings an alternative perspective because it shows an area that most likely is not typically photographed up close.
