الأبجدية السوداء practice

 

In this set of photographs, I was able to create an alphabet out of the human body, yet my technical execution of the project was unsatisfying. The letters are very difficult to read against the black background. My model’s black clothing is blending in with the background, for example. The contrast in different letters is also unsatisfying. From far away the letters in the alphabet look satisfactory, but when I zoom in closer I see the faults, such as the weak contrast levels, and the letters become difficult to read. William G. Fitzgerald, the artist who inspired my project, made black and white images of the human alphabet against a white background, and this made it easier for the letters to be visible. With the white background, you can also see more detail in the bodies in the photographs. So I will try to make this set again, but using a white background. I will also pay more attention to making the lighting look more natural, and I will also see whether or not I want the letters to be in black and white or not.
