Tuesday I showed Brian some of the sample pictures I had made. Mimesis, the second project brief entails an imitation of a renown/public photographer’s style. Because I choose Duane Michals, the American photographer known for his text in pictures, I am very interested to try to incorporate my handwriting into my work. I’m very happy that Duane keeps an eye on both the technicalities of his photographs, while also focusing heavily on the composition on his pictures. Since most of his photos are staged, he has the capability to express his creativity any way he wanted.
Planning the project Brief, I wanted to express some of my thoughts into a picture. So my work is kind of a self-expression of what is in my mind. The picture above is one example I took with my friend. We were at the Summit Camp and I happened to cross this pathway while cruising for pictures. The place was beautiful. The sun was blazing hot, every plants and trees grow taller than humans, so you would feel like you’re surrounded by giants. But if those giants have white petals and perfect to have a picture with, then you wouldn’t feel overwhelmed.
