STAGE II: Hunting for New Pictures
Having been informed that my pictures did not indicate a storyline, I discarded them in a fit of unhappiness and decided to truly get out there and take better pictures. Not without proper thinking, though. Here are my considerations for the hunt:
1) Visual Appeal
2) Framing
3) Consistency
4) The Feels (a.k.a what vibes do they give the passive observer?)
5) What does it show about me?
With this criteria, I ventured out with my family members to several spots around the country and came up with these (excludes the final photos):
Comment: The Little Prince streetlamp reference to the meaningless work-life cycle is strong with this one. Plus, the tree’s dead. Unacceptable.
Comment: Details, details. Yet too impersonal.
Comment: Hive of a stingless bee colony. Perhaps a little too specific and documentary-like to be personal. The project’s about SELF, honey.
Comment: “Dad, I need a drink.”
“No.”
“Then I’ll need an angle.”
Comment: Paralleling the tree, this would only mean “shelter/shade” or “curiosity” to most people. It’s not going to mean “rapport” like I hoped it would.
Comment: Bad framing. Light everywhere. Ay.
I did came up with 4 shots at the end of the day . . . or weekend.
SIDE NOTE
Being very aware of my not-so proficient vocal abilities, I decided to provide an alternative form of communication should my thoughts-to-voice processing fail me again. That’ll be the description and analysis, as well as as curt introduction to my work. It’s uploaded before these 2 (BTS) posts were, chances are you’ve already seen it if you are following up with this.
Once again, thanks for spending time to view this. Much appreciated. XD
