Second week of the project was painful. I added some photos to the Google drive folder for you all to see, although quite sincerely I am not very proud of them. My model and I weren't getting along this week, which made it difficult to work. Once again, I am struggling to find the right angles, poses ––anything really. I am really questioning whether I should hold on to this idea or make up a completely new one.

I like the ones with the white flowers at the end. Some of these feel like they can be really good portraits, especially the ones where you play around with the shadows. I know portraits is not what you had in mind when begging this project but maybe it would be worth considering it, or at least throwing some in with your original landscape idea. Some ideas you could explore is having him perform activities that revolve around being in nature like hiking, climbing a tree or possibly swimming. I hope it works out.
ReplyDeleteFrom Seth- The best new ones, in my opinion, are #'s 645, 651, 686, 700, 701, 705, 706. That said, I think all could benefit from Image adjustments in Photoshop. I would even go as far as to use the replace color tool with some of the shadows. Did you happen to read my comments about your first post? I think the images that I pointed out have a lot of promise (especially the ones where the portrait dominates the picture plane and the figure is not directly engaging the camera lens/viewer). I think you just need to experiment more with digital manipulations of color and value and shoot new images that push the idea of expressing the ineffable-- what has a psychological undercurrent and plays with the idea of the human interacting with nature (even just a state of mind).
ReplyDeleteFrom Carli-- I really like 702,700,699,675,666,653,651,648, and 649. 692, 691 and a lot of the non-figure photos look like they would be good to incorporate in other photos taken, using Photoshop, to make them a bit more dynamic. Overall everything was very cool, all the open spaces and even having the model be one with the space was cool.
