Mind Map

Vision

What will your message be?

  • When it comes to presenting the final work, I hope that people can discover more ideas from my photos. Rather than being limited to the mood I have expressed. Furthermore, I hope that after viewing my photos, they will feel an urge to explore another side of the world. This is because my current theme is “Reflects ‘truth’/another side of…” It’s a theme that offers more room for creative expression (for me).
  • For my photograph series, I would like the message to be “What does society look like in my eyes?” What I embody may be more of a guide rather than a so-called “answer.” It’s also possible that there is no definitive “answer.” Therefore, in my work, I aim to reflect the different perspectives and views of various groups on society, expressing this through a conceptual approach.
  • For instance, a repetition of one movement layering together (to me) represents the repetitive lifestyle that one/community experiences.

How will you show this message with your photography?

  • Through different camera techniques.
  • The zoom-in method, can further refine the depiction of emotions in characters or objects within a photograph. An action quickly captured, when enlarged, will have a more intense blur, making it difficult for viewers to discern the original action. Allowing them to speculate, as their guesses will likely be related to their everyday experiences, can create a deeper connection.

 

Compare each of your favorite images to the others:

I particularly love this photo. The black background accentuates the sense of movement, and both elements (background and subject/character) are connected, looking at the figure’s color. And I feel like it was the most effective in adding depth to the photograph. Moreover, I have a strong preference for dynamic photos, so I also want this effect in my own work, I also opt for the same elements as this photo: lighting, motion.

I really like the interplay between the solid and the virtual in this photograph. The central figure is in focus, while others is blurred, highlighting the main subject. This black and white image can tell a full story. Firstly, the light source in the photo is not obvious, but the presence of shadows creates a sense of depth. The relationship between the figures seems fleeting, and although it’s a still image, I can sense movement within it and even imagine the direction of the figures movement.

Statement of Intent:

The  working title of my project is “reflecting the truth/another side of…”

I want my audience to feel engaged when looking at the series of photograph. And through the photo, to feel a sense of movement.

I will get inspiration and develop my ideas by looking for photographs by Alexey Bednij (Russian artist) that digitally manipulates shadows and silhouettes, bending reality to create interesting collages.
