IMAGES:  

Proposal;

Who/What?

I intend to photograph different, simple, everyday things and edit them to show the beauty that we miss out on seeing in everyday life. I will take photos of things such as bricks and stairs and markers and lockers all in groups of five to incorporate the five project idea.

Editing?

I will edit the photos a lot in order to bring on the certain parts of the object that is the most beautiful aspect, and one that usually goes unnoticed, basically all the little details that are more detailed than we suspect, and much more beautiful. I will also combine five photos to further the concept of five, and adjust the colors of all the objects in order to show the best side or part of that object.

Why?

I will be shooting everyday things that are often unnoticed because they all use our five senses, even though we never think about it or second guess it at all. Also, all the things will be combined in order to sort of show a day in the live of a student, or just in general the day for a certain person, or what the object is used to do and how they all relate.

When/Where?

I plan to shoot my photos during class time, as well as edit them, and come in for resource if needed. I plan on walking around the school and finding simple beauty in natural things that relate to a normal day and normal places.

Concept?

My concept is everyday life. The main concept that I am going for is that we do not pay close attention to everyday life, and the beauty it has, as well as the details we miss and how almost anything can relate to what we want it to relate to. Finding things that relate to five may seem difficult, but I wanted to show the simplicity there is in it, and how everything can be grouped into fives, and random signs hanging have it on there, and things like that.

Compositional Techniques?

There are many different compositional techniques that I used, either used them how they are supposed to or played around with them and offset them and used them in the opposite way of the norm. First the technique used most was leading lines. There are lines leading in all different directions and they ultimately lead to the neon splashes of color off set to the left of the center. I also used rule of thirds, and at every intersection of where the lines would be is an important or main aspect of the piece that your attention gets drawn to. I did not fill the frame with the object intentionally because I wanted the background to be seen on its own and not just as a background to the main point, because each layer adds additional interest to the piece. I intentionally used level horizon in one of the background images, but not in the others. I wanted the lines to be leading at awkward angles in order to come together at points right in the middle.
