9/30 Assignment







It's been a pretty gross week to shoot, so overall I am not totally thrilled with what I got. I really wish it had been nicer out so I could have shot outdoors and with the sun but such is life. I had to use flash most of the time because it's been so dark. I am also super resistant to converting to digital but that's a whole other factor ( 143Film).

My subject was my lovely room mate Steph who so accommodatingly let me harass her with the camera. I chose her because I felt like photographing an inanimate object so much in the same bland conditions would get really old. My element was "Organization", so I tried more to incorporate the different lines and shapes of the backgrounds into interaction with Steph, and also thought about where I was putting each aspect of the image inside the frame.

Hi Julia
Your roommate is practically an inanimate object in these pictures! ;)
But, the pictures do not fulfill the assignment. Please go back and read it carefully. The assignment was to shoot one object using one principle of composition and then pushing that principle to its opposite extreme (for example, symmetry and assymetry) to discover how the principles shift the meaning/effect of the image. Please reshoot (choose a day that you love the light!) the assignment and bring in next week (that would be the Tuesday after Columbus Day).
See you in class tomorrow,
Jane
