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...
I love these! The first photo of David is really nice, the blue really pops and the shadows on his face are interesting. I also really enjoy the yellow with the reddish tones of the rock. The second photo looks like it needs a slight extra crop to get rid of the little black lines on the sides. The photo of David doing a headstand is funny and interesting especially with the moody atmosphere of the clouds. I think you have a really dynamic set that almost feels like a narrative about the subject. I am excited to see what else you make!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy these photos and I like the tones in these pictures and how they are on the softer side. I agree with Josie in saying that the first photo is really nice with the blue background standing out and the interesting shadows that are being cast on his face from his hat. I also really enjoy the last photo, the colors work well together and I enjoy the way the ivy interacts with the other objects in the scene.
ReplyDeleteThe headstand photo is my favorite!!! Your photos are very environmentally abstract. These are the kinds that I wish I would take. It seems like you are not in Ohio either, at least in some of them. The snow mountain cap gives me a sensation of my trip to Seattle, Washington. I visited Mt. Rainier. It was a trip of a lifetime.
