Alice in Wonderland
For my final project I decided to take an Alice in Wonderland approach and portray things as they may not seem. You just have to open your eyes to the possibilities.
"Be what you would seem to be -- or, if you'd like it put more simply -- Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise." -Lewis Carroll: Alice in Wonderland
I decided for this photo to simply take a picture in the mirror to show what people usually see of me; me with my face behind a camera. I've had friends tell me that it is like a physical part of me.
This is a picture of a vendor at a bakery in the strip district. The man behind the counter seemed pretty content and proud of what he does which I thought made him a perfect candidate for a portrait.
This is a picture of a teammate, Abigail. I thought it captured her very well because she has these beautiful blue eyes and the closeness of this picture shows her freckles in full detail (she says she's a cheetah). Also her expression is kind of comical which sums up her personality very well.
These three pictures were my favorite of landscape. The first picture is just simply an image that anyone can enjoy in winter time. Even though the people are blurry, I like that it represents the movement, so much so I can almost picture myself ice skating. In the second one I like how the vines make it an interesting way to look at something so simple as a highway. I also like the lights rushing behind it as well as the architect of the building in the background. The third picture had amazing lighting from white walls that brought character to the photo. I decided to make the photo black and white with high contrast to make it pop even more.
Don't really like the exposure or the fact that it turned out a bit blurry. Also there are things in the frame I would rather not have. Overall just kind of boring.
