Progress on Photos
Our project on homelessness is a little bit challenging than I expected. The most challenging part of this project for me is trying to find something to photograph that relates to the subject. Trying to combining the speaks idea and my has been also a challenge. So I just been focusing on taking a photos of unhoused people instead of trying to capture the concept of the speakers story; But the photos are not as good as I would want them to be at this point. My photos on un housed people are taking intentionally with expressive emotion. I have not been taking a direct approach because I feel like the photo is not coming out as strong as I would want it to be. So I’ve changed up my approach from direct to behind or sideway my subject.
Some of my successes so far, I would have to say is the setting because it allows me to me to tell a story through my images and send massages to my views. I have also been trying to look out for what I learned from the beginning of this course. Before I take a photo of anything, I always make sure I’m aware of the my lighting, framing, shapes and lines that surrounding my subject. This helps photographs come out strong and have texture.
One of my goals by the end of this assignment is to get a good image of something tangible that an unhoused person holds closely to their heart. Like for example a picture of a love one, or any type of jewels. My second goal is to try to combine the feed back that I got from speakers, the ideas from their stories, and off course with my ideas as well.
