Final Images

For this photo, I wanted the orientation to be a landscape so that she on the right side of the frame and that you see the whole setting and the environment. I also wanted it to have a higher contrast effect and I placed her on the right side so that she could look like she was starting to go into the little play house.


For this photo, I wanted the focus to be on her and the cute, modern, bright outfit and so that it contrasts against the old chair she is standing on. I had a portrait orientation so that she was the entire frame and you could see her entire outfit. I cropped it in a bit so that she was in the center and that there wasn't too much on the outside to distract but enough to add a bit of context.

I chose landscape for this photo because because I wanted the frame to go along with the shape of the chair. I place the shoes on the upper half of the photograph so that the bright green plants would show and contrast against the dull wood yet add more color to the blue and yellow bright shoes. I utilized natural light to go along with the idea of playing outside and it worked out well since it was a sunny day.

For this series of photograph, in creating them I wanted to reveal the idea of fashion along with the ideal of play. I wanted a bit of a mystical forest feel yet believable. I wanted the playhouse to maybe seem like a modern alice in wonderland and the others to just have the viewer to question why a chair is in the plants. I think this series plays with the idea of youth and how clothes can make us feel younger. The class liked the shoe photograph and enjoyed the colors in all of them. They thought they felt playful and fun. They did not say much beyond that. I really enjoyed making the photographs. I would like to shoot some more in possibly different settings and areas.





For this photograph, I wanted it to be portrait so that there was a lot of space at the top to sort of make the viewer feel a bit nervous about how high the slide is and to possibly be easy to add text for an ad. I wanted the subject to not be looking at the camera and over the side so that the viewer is curious as to what she is looking at. For the Background, I wanted it to be on a swing set to add to the idea of play.

For this photograph, I wanted a bit of a sense of symmetry with the teeter-totters but then have the girl break up that symmetry by sitting on one. I chose a landscape orientation to juxtapose the almost vertical sense of the teeter-totters. I wanted this perspective so that the you have a sense of looking up and that the teeter totters are leading you through the photograph.

For this two photo series, I wanted in to reveal the idea of fashion along with the ideal of play. I wanted these photos to bring the viewer back to their youth and memories of the playground for them. I hope to tell a personal story of how much I loved the playground which can connect to others enjoyment of recess. I think this series plays with the idea of youth and how clothes can make us feel younger and bring memories back to us. The class liked the colors of the photographs. They thought they were playful. They didn't say much beyond that. I enjoyed making this series and utilizing this concept and would like to take this concept to other places and backgrounds.
