Final Project Proposal

I intend to photograph my loved ones and those close to me. I want to go into wedding photography, which are photos that exude a feeling of love and happiness. I want to photograph my friends and family in a way that makes people feel happy and see them through my eyes. I want to try and photograph these people in different ways. Some of the photos may be more formal, while some may be more candid. I also want to have some photos be singular portraits, while others include multiple people together. I think that having both will show not only my relationship with the subject(s) but also how they interact with others. I want to photograph my loved ones and those who affect my daily life because they are the most important people to me and I want to capture that feeling of importance through various images. I plan to start out with a few different environmental portraits and group photos of my family and friends and then build off different techniques to try and capture them in a more professional or a more creative way. I think that I will start with more simple images and try to repeat the same subjects from a different perspective after each critique. I think other people will be drawn to my photos because of the positive feelings they give off and because people are always drawn to the intricacies of the human face. I also plan to try and capture my loved ones in a creative way that makes the viewer think about who they are and want to know more. I already know that my biggest challenge is going to be getting my subjects to take time out of their days to let me photograph them. This has been especially hard recently with the earlier sunsets. I know I will need to improve on asserting myself and planning more specific details about my photos ahead of time. I hope that through this project I will not only build on my existing skills and have some meaningful photos to show for it, but that I will also improve myself as a photographer, learn some new techniques, and get closer to where I need to be to pursue photography in a professional setting.

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...
