first project

With our first project being depth of perception, I was able to capture my model (Joanne) focused clearly in the picture. In this photograph you can see a girl reaching up as if picking an item off the of tree. The expression on her face is anxious which helps illustrate her actions as wanting something. By seeing her shadow reaching up, it helps show us that she's almost made it but she's not exactly there yet. None of the objects in this picture are exactly close up, but the closet object would be my model and her shadow. I think this work is figurative instead of abstract because it represents someone reaching for something. The shapes in this picture are interesting to me because they use shadows which reflect everything that cannot be seen. I'd say that this image is in and out of focus because my model and the shadow are somewhat clearer than the rest of the background in this picture. this image came out lighter in some parts than I would have liked, but part of it in the corner was caused by me not dodging the image enough. This image was taken outdoors towards the sun which caused it to be brighter. In my opinion, this image was successful, because it was my first project and it worked out nicely.
