What are your intentions behind the series of photographs in the book? What kind of experience are you looking to evoke from the "reader"?
My intentions behind the photographs were to have a common element of nature throughout all of them. I wanted to have the whole book to have a somewhat old feel to it so I used film to take the pictures. To achieve this feeling of antiquity, I made the cover out of leather and used black and while images.
What are formal commonalities that the images share (be specific. Explain how the composition or light or texture is repeated or evoked in multiple images)?
All the images were of different aspects of nature. I wanted to have a variety in the natural world so I took a lot of different types of nature pictures. That being said, most of the photographs shared a sort of darkness.
What advice do you have for someone who plans to embark on this project?
I would tell them to really develop their intentions for the book before taking pictures. I started off with the leather book cover and developed the project around that so I had a solid idea of what would go well together.
I thought the leather casing was really successful, it gave the book a nice feel. I also liked the size of the pictures and the book, it was different and worked out well.
ReplyDeleteYo Quinton!
ReplyDeleteI think your pictures are fascinating! They really display FABulous composition and textures. The only suggestion I have is to not use animals because it didn't really go with your series.
All in all Great Job!
Q-dawg,
ReplyDeleteI really liked the physical layout of your book with the smaller black and white prints and the leather cover. It was very successful. I thought all your photos functioned very well as a series, while at the same time I really liked each individual photograph. Great job!!
Great work, Quinton. I think your best photo is the very last one, with the reflection on the rippling water. All of your photos are crisp and contrasty, which creates a very appealing look. Nice leather on the outside of the book.
ReplyDeleteQuinton, I really liked how you used leather for the cover of your book. I really liked all of your photographs as well, they are all really interesting and go nicely together. I think it would be really interesting to see a lot of your photos on a larger scale.
