Reflection
Conceptual Intentions:
The purpose of this series was to evoke light as a character within our photos. I purposefully used the reflection of light off water to create symmetrical pictures (not all my pictures are symmetrical). I approached each day differently taking my photos at different angles, distances, lighting, objects and so on until I found that capturing lights reflection off water was very intriguing and thus the rest of my project was based on the foundation of using lights reflection off water. I felt that this project allowed me to explore my photography new techniques when taking pictures. I thought this process was very meaningful because I was able to find what I was most comfortable with taking pictures of and I really appreciated that the topic was so broad thus allowing me to really experiment when taking my pictures.
Stretch and Explore:
Through out the project I was constantly changing what I was taking my photos of and how I was taking them until I found something that really caught my interest. As the weather, lighting, and environment changed I found new ways to take photos. One day it was raining and I used the opportunity to take photos. The photos I took that day ended up being what I used in my series. I think that I could have taken pictures outside of school when it rained during the duration of the project because I could have definitely taken some cool photos off campus, but I am still very happy with how my series turned out.
