Masters+Photo_Michaelson

I have chose 6 artists that have all had an influence on what my idea for this project will be for me. The six artists I have chosen are William Eggleston, Katy Grannan, Nikki S. Lee, Ruth Bernhard, Jerry Uelsmann, and Lee Friedlander. I have chosen these artist because they use the ability to have little color and still have a meaning within it. I want to have people look at my photographs and be able to understand the meaning from within themselves and myself. in photoshop I will brighten the colors of the flowers and then fade the colors within the graves to symbolize the color of life and darkness of death. i will be focusing on color. I want the colors I choose to have meaning towards life and how people view the dead. My concept: I want to be able to stay together with the death and life. I will be using those through flowers, colors, quotes, and graves. I want people to understand the meaning of a grave and what people want when they are buried. When people are buried, they want their families and friends to come and talk to them, let them know what's going on in their lives. I'm gonna do this through the making the flowers be the main part of the picture and then have the graves be faded in, this makes the connection of the living and the dead. I will make a series of photos and put them on one boarder. I will use different colors and different graves to give each photo the ability to be unique.
