Title "From Darkness"

The final five have been picked along with the title that will go with them. It's been an interesting experience working on this project, creating photographs from a custom made snow globe. The feedback I received from Peter, Sarah, Peggy, and the class helped me get the project to a point were its ready to be presented. I'm grateful for all the feedback I received from the critics, it helped me figure out what worked in the project as well as the direction I wanted to take it. In the end I believe the projected turned out really well and look forward to my next project.

Final Five

Approaching the End

Having taken many photographs some of which I've posted, its time to narrow down the images to the five that will be presented in a 20x30 print. The newer photographs don't give off the same sense of feeling I get with the older photographs. This means that I will be choosing the final five from the past photographs that made a better impression.

More Photographs

Outside Critic with Peggy

A week after the feed back from the group critic, I was able to meet with Peggy to get her feedback on the photographs that I have taken. She like the direction the project was going in, she also told me that I should take the photographs in a way that keeps the container out of the image. I was also advised to take more images with the use of different colors to see what kind of photograph is created. With her I was also advise to get the images print a bigger size, which is the same feedback I got from Peter. So rather then going with 10 images at a smaller size, I will now be printing 5 photographs that are 20x30. With this in mind I continued to take more images with the feedback in mind as well as trying to keep in mind that I'll have to pick 5 final photographs opposed to picking 10.

Photographs Taken with the Feedback in Mind

First Group Critic

From the first group critic, I was amazed by the different interpretations people came across from seeing the photographs I have created. From the feedback I got, I found that some of the things that worked in the images were how the light had been filtered in some images that didn't show too much and allowed for a sense of mystery in each image. I also found that the use of different colors for the background gave each photograph a different way to be interpreted. Some of the beneficial feedback that came from the critic was that I should only show the pose the model is in, without showing the container its in. I should also keep the water level out of the photograph because that takes away from the image. One last bit of critic was that I should not have too much light in the photograph that shows too much information of what is going on in the photograph. All of this feedback is information that I kept in mind as I went to work on the next batch of photographs for the project.
