Concept: When I was little my grandmother owned some of these Russian dolls and I loved playing with them and setting them up in different ways. It was a photograph that just helped me reminisce on childhood.
Method: At first I tried photographing them in a straight across line, but then after some critique I tried setting them up this way. I also put a black sheet around them to take out any distracting background.
Motivations: My goal for this image was to bring back a piece of my past.
Context: This could relate to other photographers work when they show depth of field or when they photograph toys.
Interpretation: There wasn't really a strong interpretation behind my image.
Evaluation: The contrast and lighting is working. The blacks could be more dark however, and the sharpness of the first doll could be better.
Extension: I could set the dolls up in different ways, or get different kinds of dolls and arrange them as well.
Concept: The concept behind this photograph is to re-create "The Kiss" but with a new twist on it, by using different races.
Method: This summer I went to Europe and saw "The Kiss" so I was inspired to recreate this amazing piece.
Motivations: Klimt's masterpiece, "The Kiss."
Context: This could relate to the photographers who try to make their pieces look like paintings or other medias of art.
Interpretation: People didn't know that this was a recreation, once informed they enjoyed the differences I put into the piece.
Evaluation: The lighting and sharpness was good. The subtle placing of a picture of Kimt's piece in my shot was enjoyed as well.
Extension: I could do more recreations of famous paintings, with twists on each of them.
Composition: I put both heads close together to make them seem like they belonged to one body, and surrounded them with darkness to create a floating look. Concept: The concept behind this was to create a picture that caught peoples attention and made them take a second look.
Method: After some researching, I came up with the floating head idea. So I wrapped a black sheet around my two friends and started shooting.
Motivations: My goal was to make the two heads look like they were floating and put them so close together that they seemed to be on one body.
Context: My piece is related to other artists who use constructed realities, and make their photographs challenge reality.
Interpretation: Others see this image to be two heads sitting on one body, like the saying "two heads is better than one."
Evaluation: The faces could be sharper and the cropping around the female models hair could look more realistic.
Extension: I could do more floating head pieces with different models, and maybe even add more heads to the photographs.
Composition: I completely took out the background, and used a semi high contrast. With lighting from above the model.
Concept: The concept behind my image is to address how busy the average individuals life is today. How we need more arms to just keep up with the technology that is taking over our lives. We need to step back, breath and take in the natural joys of life every once and a while.
Method: I had three models stand in a line creating this illusion, then used Photoshop to make it look more realistic.
Motivations: My goal was to show how life is so busy these days.
Context: My piece could relate to other photographers who try to make illusions with their pictures.
Interpretation: This piece was interpreted the same as I meant it to be, it was seen as a statement about busy schedules.
Evaluation: The lights could be brighter and the darks could be darker. A couple of the phones that were photoshopped in could be done better, in order to make them look more realistic.
Extension: I could add in other technology pieces that make our lives busier, add more arms, or do the same type of idea but with different models.
