Constructed Narrative Assignment

For this assignment I decided it would be really interesting to base my project off the book "Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs."  This was my favorite book as a child, so I thought it would be interesting to combine two favorite childhood memories.  One being my favorite book and one of my favorite toys to play with, which is called "City."  

It's Awkward

Creative Portraiture-Mini Assignment 4

Self Portrait

For this assignment I wanted to capture my feeling awkward with photographing myself.  I have never enjoyed doing self portraits, but for this project I wanted to push myself to capture good images.  I pushed myself to go outside of my comfort zone, and by doing that I wanted to show that awkwardness in more of an intimate way.  My body positions are meant to represent my feeling uncomfortable. 

The Personalities of a Stranger

Creative Portraiture-Mini Assignment 3

Photograph a Stranger

For this assignment I chose to photograph using 35mm black and white film, and I printed on 11x14 in fiber paper.  The big question for this assignment is, what actually classifies someone to be a stranger.  I chose to photograph this family because even though I know their names, and I have met them before I don't really know much about them, which to me makes them strangers.  Through these images I wanted to capture their being shy and trying not to focus on the fact that I was there photographing them.  In each image they never look directly at the camera but I feel the emotions in each image show.

Knowing Place Assignment

For this assignment, we are to visit the same place three times and week, and take twenty images each visit.  My place is my backyard, and these nine photographs are my favorites from the first three weeks of photographing.

The Quiet in One's Life

Creative Portraiture-Mini Assignment 2

Photograph a Family Member

For this assignment we were to photograph a family member using interior lighting, and we were to portray the word quiet.  It's the simple things in life, that allow us to have those quiet/peaceful moments.  My father was an inspiration for this assignment, in how he enjoys the the simple things to escape from all that makes life crazy.

Undressing

Creative Portraiture-Mini Assignment 1

Photograph A Classmate

I entitled this mini series "Undressing" because I feel our individual personalities show in everything we do, including undressing.  I chose to photograph the point of interest out of focus.  I did this in order to represent that with each persons personality there is still a mystery.
