The working title of my project is: The elf of the Woods.

Theme: I want my audience to convey a feeling from my work that we need to work harder to protect the environment. Because in the first few pictures, I plan to take a photo of a very happy and free-spirited girl elf.  But from the later  on, the color tone on the picture gradually became dim and low. The girl’s face began to show scars, and her once happy image began to turned sad . I want to convey through my photos a kind of forest spirit, as human injuries begin to become filled with scars. This also represents that in the real world, forests are beginning to suffer from large-scale deforestation, and many animals are unable to survive due to habitat damage, leading to extinction. I hope to convey to the audience through my photos the idea of not destroying nature anymore.

I got my inspiration from people photo shoots on Xiao hong shu and google. Which is able to how the different feeling that I want is able to be connect together.

Here are some of my test photos but they didn’t work out the way that I wanted them to, but I have a better thought on what I should do. Firstly,  for the first picture, I should moved something to cover up the background. And have more thought in the costume, also the fishes in front of her  are all out of focus. Next time I maybe could take two photos separately one the person in focus, the other one the fish in focus. Then use technology to put the two photo together, to be able to make both the fish and person to be in focus to show a picture with more than one main character.

For the second picture, one very obvious issue is that the photo is over exposed, which cause use to not able to see the person clearly. The other two issues are still the same the messy back ground and the main character that was not dressed up properly.

The third picture was the best one of all four. The lighting was good enough to be able to show the character clearly, and it also was able to show the the approximate outline of fish for the viewer to understand that it is a fish.

The fourth picture was able to show a good reflection, but the model closed her eyes, and the lighting was a little weird. This caused the pictures main color to turn into a blueish color. And not the color of normal people.

This set of tryouts were not able to show the main idea of my statement of intent. It was unable to clearly communicate the main idea off how human being were damaging the environment.
