project
today’s critique went horrible, i can’t stand the professor, good thing he is only here for a semester. That being said, i decided to change my project. My project is now going to be about people and there environment. I’ve done things similar to this, but with the person absent, but this time i am going to do things differently. I am going to photograph people in their most and least comfortable environments. Possibly for the least comfortable environment the person will be absent with only a trace of them left behind to show a feeling of the person feeling alone, desperate, afraid and invisible. The ones where they feel comfortable will be posed but not too posed, kind of like Lourdes Grobet’s work on the luchadores. Attached is an example. I am going to continue working in color since i bought all of that color film. The project will still deal with the idea of home, like the project i was going to do, but will deal with home in a different way, including a loss of home. I want to always draw visual and conceptual comparisons between the two different environments, what is the same in these opposite environments and what does that say about the person? I hope to go deeper that the surface with these. I want to bring out extreme emotions in my subjects and the viewer, i want to viewer to feel what the subject feels when in those environments….
let’s see how this goes.
