FIANL SELF-PORTRAIT TRIPTYCH(+IMAGES)


    

















crossed legs= I'm relaxed
tilt of photo= my world dis teetering on the edge going down hill









serious face= I might seem like I'm mad or pissed off, but thats just my face. I'm actually a pretty happy guy.

 lights surrounded by darkness in background= the small things that make me happy in times that seem to be horrible or depressing.

 
Black background= the sadness and loneliness I'm experiencing
Half of my face= My other half (best friend) is not with me. (not dead just moved)

Artist Statement:

4)  I've gotten better at composing my photos and challenging myself to try different approaches on how to convey my message.
6) One big problem I faced making this peace was not knowing what to do. The way I solved it was I thought of what was going on in my life and how I could say it without words.
18) One peace I did earlier in the year was a golden hour photo. Some differences I see in these are how I composed them. The three photo's in my triptych are, in my opinion, composed a lot better than the golden hour photo I did.
19) Those changes came about because as I progressed through this class, I learned different, and more, techniques.
30) One thing people might think about me when they look at these photos is I'm a bit of a serious person, which I am, but most of the time I'm not.
31) One thing I would like to improve on is my photoshop skills. I'm already pretty skilled, but I would still like to learn more about photo manipulation.
32) One hing I would change about this project, if I were to do it again, is not make my photos so depressing.

QUESTION #1: "How are emotions..."

Image
QUESTION #1. How are emotions raised by a photograph (work of art) different from typical human emotions? (For example, is a 'sad' photograph/painting different from another experience of sadness?) Is it different for different kinds of emotion? (For example, is a 'happy' photograph more universally descriptive?) If so, how? If not, why not? *************************************************************************** Emotions that are from a photograph are quite different from typical human emotions. When you look at a sad photo, like the owl, I guarantee you're either saying ,"Aww," or at least thinking it. Thats just you showing empathy; you're not actually feeling what the owl is feeling. And it's the same for happy photos, like the kid playing in the leaves. Except this time you're saying or thinking, "AWW," with a more joyful tone.
