Currently I have been interested in using this as a way to explore different things for photography, I am looking at the feeling of boredom that can come from this entire event, and how experimenting helps bring something out of it.
My practice drastically changed once going into quarantine. I found it very difficult to have any motivation once being home all the time. This is especially because I was mainly photographing people. I was no longer able to photograph people in the same way, and ended up mainly photographing my brother in different metroparks in the Toledo area. This proved to be a challenge as I could no longer shoot on film either, and my dslr stopped working a week into quarantine. This led to most of my photos being phone pics. With these limitations I tried to play off of weird projects I already had been doing. My photos for mom series are literal phone pictures I have always taken for my mom of my brother and I doing weird things in parks. This also drew off of my idea to make eye-spy type pictures of my brother and I hiding in the trees. The last of my film photos are also stuck as edited TIFFs. I was unable to download photoshop as my laptop has no storage, and the files were too big for...
You seem to like a lot of lines and geometric shapes in your images. Each photo contains multiple lines or shapes especially vertical lines that frame the image. The best examples of this is the first and eighth image. The door frame and the lines on the wall frame the inside of the room for the first image and the curtain and its folds frame to window. I really enjoy images 6 and 7 though I would like more of the stairs in 6. The composition of the images are done so well, the stairs that lead up to those to pillars framing the green thing which seem to mimic the pillars. For the 7th image the rectangular shapes of the beds that interrupt the garage shape is a very interesting composition. I like that these photos show that you pay attention to the composition of your images. I hope to see more images that play with shapes and lines
ReplyDeleteI think you were able to express the feeling of boredom throughout these pictures. I agree Chris in saying that there is a lot of lines and geometric shapes throughout your images which I find appealing. I am drawn to your seventh image, the composition is very interesting and I like they way the colors work together. I also really like your last image with the dog, again it has an interesting composition. you can tell you pay attention to what you are capturing and I like you you were not afraid to get close when taking your pictures.
