The title of my project is “Life Doesn’t Have That Much Audience”. The title reflects the view that most of the beauty and meaning of life are presented without recognition or an audience. My project aims to explore the quiet, unobserved moments that typically define human experience – those private, primitive, and sometimes fleeting moments.

I hope my audience can feel profound introspection and empathy when interacting with my photos. My goal is to evoke an emotional response that encourage the audience to pause and reflect on their own lives and moments they may have overlooked. My goal is to emphasize the beauty in loneliness, the strength in vulnerability, and the meaning of ordinary experiences. By focusing on aspects of human life that have not been mentioned, I hope to challenge the audience to reconsider their values.

I will get inspiration and develop my ideas by searching for photos of Trent Parke, which showcase his extraordinary ability to turn ordinary into extraordinary. Parker’s works often capture emotional moments, using light and shadow to create depth and cinematic quality. His photos often explore themes of loneliness, memory, and the passage of time, which is consistent with my vision for this project. I also plan to explore the technical aspects of Parke’s photography, such as his use of high contrast, unusual perspectives, and the interaction between light and dark. Most importantly, his use of low shutter speed to emphasize the motion of the by-passers and putting sharp focus on the main character connects with my overall theme. These technologies will help me shape my visual language for this project.
