Final Project - Emily Hannak


My final photo project for this class is the details of day-to-day life, specifically my life. I wanted to showcase the smaller details of someone’s experience that may be overlooked or ignored. This included objects, people, environments, and anything in between. The collection is compiled of pieces I felt have the most significant impact on me daily, and they together create a web that represents me and my experience. The way I brought them together to really give them a sense of similarity was a monochrome finish so that there were no conflicting or clashing colors through my diverse subject matter. Through the process, I was concerned that there would be no cohesion between my images, or the professionalism would seem absent as the images were never posed or staged or photographed at an ungodly short depth of field. I quickly grew past that because quite simply, life is not a professional studio with one particular purpose: life is hectic, disorganized, random, unposed, and not a glamorous ideal fantasy. Life is real and ever-changing. I continued this theme as a chose not to cut the prints at equal dimensions, leaving different sized borders on most. As I had previously feared, a big objection in this project was dealing with people in my life not wanting to be photographed. I had planned for photographing parts of my family over the holiday, but they were all quite vocal against being a part of my project. Overall I know there is room for improvement, but I am proud of the fact that I feel as if a have succeeded in creating an accurate and readable view of my daily experience on this bitch of an Earth.

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...
