Bressler Proposal


For my final project, I intend to photograph architecture, both old and new. This could include whole buildings, doors, windows, artistic structures, and more. Specifically, I want to photograph them in a unique perspective that most people would not see them from. I want to photograph this subject, because it is different than what I usually photograph. My favorite subject to photograph is people, but I want to expand my interests and skills to other subjects.
            I will revisit the subject by physically revisiting the architecture that I previously photographed. This way, I can use what I receive in my critiques to retake the pictures in a more effective way. If the subjects I choose are not sufficient for my project, I will find new architecture elsewhere. I plan to photograph some of the interesting architecture downtown. I also have my car on campus, so I am able to drive different places to take photos of different subjects.
            The viewer will care to spend time with my photographs, because I plan to take them in an intriguing way that people would not normally see. Therefore, they will not simply be plain pictures of buildings, but they will show them from a new perspective. I will also include new and old architecture, so there will be a wide variety of types of architecture to look at and compare.
            One of the challenges that I plan to anticipate is time management. With the fall season, there is very limiting hours of sunlight. My classes fall during these hours, so I believe I will have trouble finding times that allow for the proper lighting. I will most likely take my photos on the weekends. Another issue I anticipate is people. Some of the most intriguing architecture is often surrounded by the most people. Some small element of people in my photos could be useful, but I do not plan to have them be overwhelming present in my photographs.

Marc Wendelski Marc Wendelski is a geometrician anarchist, a meticulous amateur, a liberate surveyor. In his book “nage libre” he used his camera to capture landscapes and people. In most of his pictures he used diagonal or asymmetrical structure to composed his pictures. And the square pictures, with all sides of equal length, help him to emphasize the objects in the picture. Also, he used wide angle lenses to picture landscapes. Wide angle lenses give you a wide view and it’s perfect for capturing expansive landscapes. In Marc Wendelski’s pictures, the wide angle lenses help him to capture the whole landscapes and since wide angel make things look far away, it makes the scene magnificent. When noticing the color of his pictures, they always have a low saturation. The color in the pictures are not faithful to be reality. Even in the photos he probably took in summer, which trees are green, they convey a desolate feeling. Among all his photos, the sky is always white or light grey an...

Dennis Hopper Born May 17th 1936, he started taking art classes when he was 13. He started out as an actor but he developed a bad reputation for being a difficult actor, he turned to photography in the 1960’s.  He used a Nikon 33 mm camera that his wife gave him for his birthday. He took a lot of monochrome photographs and when he photographed in color he focused in on the way the colors worked together. He has captured many politically driven photographs but he has also captured many portraits of friends and the people around him in life. He liked to colors as an abstract design and would often photograph graffiti from the gangs in Los Angeles. For the series of photographs that I looked at he chose to capture these colorful designs in polaroid photos.  Artists Work My Photos

1/ what do you intend to photograph? I want to capture the real identity of different people. I want to photograph people when they are doing something in their bedrooms. I will start by asking questions: what you usually do in your bedroom. I want to find out the unknown sides of them. So I will mainly focus on my close friends who I have known for a while and find out either dark, crazy, weird sides by asking questions. will use a wide-angle lens trying to show their personality through the room decorations. My subjects might not look at the camera. And I hope they are comfortable with what they are doing like there is without a camera and outside observer. 2- why do you want to photograph the subject? I feel people all show totally different sides in public. It is necessary to hide some parts of the self. But it is interesting to explore what people are hiding or not brave enough to show. I know decent people take naked portraits or living under a mess because of mental p...
