Week 12 has been the most challenging yet. I have been experimenting and taking photos, but I haven’t produce enough. I tried taking street candid photos, but I met challenges. First, taking the photos in broad daylight to highlight my concept does not help when the sun overshadows the digital screens. Taking the photos at night solves the problem, but then another problem is that trying to sync together the studio photos and real-life concept is very tricky. Aside from the aesthetic difference, I can not figure any way to link the two photos. So after talking to Brian again, I decided to drop the street photos. I feel like I could focus more on formulating my message If I use the TV show as a source of Inspiration. I found a couple of websites that could help me construct the message & style. Another thing I need to improve is the variety of subjects. I did many self-portraits to say I am also ‘in the problem’ but I think with more people i can give a powerful message in the picture.
Looking back over the past 11 weeks I’ve seen my use of photography growing and changing. I have better understanding of my own style and I understand better how to direct my own project. Looking forward in seeing how this turn out
