Period 1 - Conceptual Image

This is my conceptual piece for this class. 

I took a picture of a broken tree, being kept together with a ribbon and then I used a stock of climber to add onto the tree, as if they were climbing up the tree. That's when I noticed the spider web n the back and decided to make it so the climber was like the spider making the web.

I was trying to portray a feeling of determination and that someone can acheive whatever they want if they try hard enough.

Truth about someone - Period 6

 

This assignment wasn't an easy one to do. It took me just a long time to figure out a model, let alone what I was going to do. When it came to it, I finally used Anna as a model. We went out and took picture to try and capture what she told me. She said that despite looking innocent, she is tough and can be a bitch. 

I took a series of different shots and ended up being most satisfied with this shot. 

In photoshop, I cropped the image and dropped the contrast and saturation. The white of her outfit symbolizes her innocence, as a common worldly symbol for innocence. The knife symbolizes her toughness.  I tried to fix the focus onto the knife, having it's darkness against the white. 

In the end I am pleased with this shot.
