statement of intent

The message of my photo is that I want to show the unknown side of people. The message is to show the complexity within people’s minds.  I want my audience to stop and consider and accept the complex feelings in their mind. For inspiration, I will try to find a photographer who explores taking photos with reflective objects and people and a photographer who explores the use of zoom-in in his or her photo. In my opinion, nowadays, people think they know everything about each other. However, this is often not true.

Man Ray

This image shows a reflecting sphere—possibly composed of metal or glass—positioned on a surface that catches intriguing reflections of the objects around it. The sphere is the primary subject of attention because of its glossy exterior and the ambiguity of the warped reflections inside. Formal features highlighting the spheres’ three-dimensionality include contrasting textures, monochromatic hues, and clean lines. An investigation of the scene is prompted by the artist’s use of reflections to produce several significance levels.

  • light and shadow
  • texture
  • black and white
  • The photograph evokes a sense of curiosity and contemplation.

I want to use a reflective object to reflect my character and do a black-and-white set.

statement of intent

The message of my photo is that I want to show the dream within the people around us. The message is to show the complexity within people’s minds and dreams.  I want my audience to stop and consider and accept the complex feelings and dreams in their mind. For inspiration, I will try to find a photographer who explores taking photos with reflective objects and people and a photographer who explores the use of zoom-in in his or her photo. In my opinion, nowadays, people tend to dream about many things, and sometimes people get triggered by them, but thinking about it, sometimes, having those weird dreams could be a good thing.
