Final Project Ideas.
For my final photo book, I have decided to focus on the "editorial" look, working on directing and setting up shots.
To go more in depth with a theme, I have decided to revolve around portraits and still lives that introduce playful color, focusing on youth and the freedoms of being a young adult living in NYC.
This can include expressing one's self by the way they dress, or their overall expressions in a "candid" moment. I think the photos that I am drawn to are the ones that express confidence, empowerment, and happiness.
To do this, my idea for a tangible presentation is to create a "magazine" with photos of the "editorial" type shots of still life and portraits that as I choose. I might end up adding text to the photos or even painting over them, but I am not certain if it would add or take away from the end result. I would add text of quotes of the model and how they were feeling in that moment when I took the photo, or I would paint over certain parts of the photo to draw emphasis to the individual.
Another idea is to do a simple photo book, as I think that going along the lines of editorial style photos would convey the "picturesque" look in a better way than anything else. I would either get one made by ordering online, or make my own (DIY). As I continue to shoot, I am going to focus more on working with directing shots rather than taking photos in a certain moment. Below are the photos I took already that I am basing my theme off of:
