Final Evaluation
THE SQUARE
I feel that our project, the square, went somewhat according to plan, I think that at first I struggled with thinking of an idea, however once I had my mind set on a particular subject/idea I got into the swing of things. My idea at first was to paint shapes on my model because I saw and idea on pinterest. (the image below)
However, I then changed my idea to write things like "Insecure", "Beautiful" etc... on my models hands/arm. To achieve these photo's I used the cove studio twice, the first time getting some cool shots that I liked but I didn't like enough to exhibit. Then the second time I got a shot that I loved, which was my final image. I kept the original image and edited it many different ways but then decided on making the picture black and white, maxing the clarity and sharpness to give a very bold image.
At first I was going to use a series of 3 photo's, however I have now decided to use just one image, to focus the attention on the meaning of the photo. The photo I have decided to use for my final image is a black and white image, with the models hands covering her eyes with the word "insecure" written across her two hands. (the image below) The image shown below had a much darker background to begin with, which I preferred, however when I printed off the image it was much too dark and needed to be lighter, I changed the image about 3-4 times after I had printed it off first to get it to look better. Many times in the process of getting this image I have considered changing my mind on my idea, however I have asked for many peoples opinions on my photos and the concept of my idea and they all seemed to like it. However I had the image printed professionally and it looked out of focus and if I had re sized the image any bigger it would look pixelated/grainy. Therefore I chose to change my image to a similar photo but the model doesn't have anything written on her, just her face covered.
The concept of my idea was to have a meaning behind my photo, this meaning being that everyone is beautiful, however not everyone see's that they are beautiful, therefore I wrote "insecure" across the models hands and got her to cover her eyes because she can't see that she's beautiful and she is insecure about how she looks.
Overall, I felt this project was quite a challenge because we were literally told we could photograph whatever we wanted, no theme, nothing so I found coming up with a cool idea quite difficult, but hopefully my image and my concept will be good enough and people will enjoy seeing my work exhibited in studio 11.
