final images

In this image, I was responding to the “crime scene” prompt. I had my camera on a ten second shutter speed and had my model move positions half way through the exposure. I positioned her by the wall to make a one-point perspective. This photo can be interpreted in numerous ways. It looks as though there are two different people in the picture, when really it is the same model. Overall, the image is eerie, due to the lighting and the obvious fact that my model looks like a ghost. I used a very slow shutter speed to create this image, and had my model fall to the ground half way through the exposure. By doing this, two figures can be seen, but neither are fully in focus. My goal for this image was to have my model in two different positions in the same frame. It is hard to interpret this image correctly, but it could be a representation of one being outside herself or feeling defeated by oneself.

In this fashion photo, I posed my model in front of a dumpster to get a unique and interesting background. I wanted the emphasis to be on her clothes and style, so I captured her whole body in the frame. My model is known for her innovative fashion sense, so I told her to wear whatever she wanted and to put on anything and everything she wanted. I posed her in many different places, even Starbucks, and had her pose in her best “model” positions. I used natural light for this photo. My goal for the image was to emphasize my model’s clothes and personal style through photography. This photo shows that anyone can be fashionable and models don’t have to be alien-looking stick figures.

This image was a complete mishap; I was moving my camera and accidentally took a picture of my model showing off her necklace. Luckily, the picture turned out well and has a nice snapshot feel to it. My model’s expression matches her clothes in that they are both edgy and bold. Before I took this, I was taking pictures of my model on the sidewalk and wanted to depict her with “normal” looking people. I was simply trying to take my camera off of my tripod when I accidentally took this. I like the aesthetic of this image and how the composition isn’t perfect.

Here, I was mocking photo booths. Generally, photo booth pictures consist of crazy poses and faces. I put my models in matching clothes and had them wear masks to be very un-photo booth. I wanted to play around with our knowledge of a photo booth and what a photo strip would look like without crazy faces and smiles. I used one diffused light source to create this image and paired my models with a white wall. With this image, I wanted to break preconceived notions of a common aspect of photography we are all familiar with.
