Project 5 Process

Project 5 Revised

Final Project

I will continue to experiment with the Photoshop "double exposure" effect and play with more conceptual meaning. Here are examples of the direction I want to try:

I also really liked the play of line and hint of geometry in my print from project 4, so that may be a direction to go in as well. 

Narrative Process

Sequential Narrative Contact Sheets

Sequential Narrative Ideas

The main idea that intrigues me is showing the passage of time, either literally (like aging), based on experience, or how emotions and feelings change - this could be representing emotions in a physical way. My last two pieces have been really colorful and beautiful, and not very conceptual - a lot more about playing with form and trying to learn Photoshop. This time I want to focus less on the software and more on telling a story, and simplifying my images to be less cluttered and more powerful. 

Motion or blur effects may be an option. Either way I really like the serenity, drama, and sobering effects of a muted or black and white color scheme. 

Double exposure may be a cool way to show emotions:

I also really liked this series by Maggie Steber. Very personal but still powerful and very well done. http://lightbox.time.com/2012/06/11/maggie-steber/
