Dillemuth+Five



For my FIVE project, I want to photograph 5 year olds having fun or doing whatever they do normally. I've chosen this idea because I work with little kids (5 year-olds) a lot. I really enjoy volunteering to work and play with them so it was kind of an easy thing to have a concept for and also be able to photograph in a short period of time. I plan on taking my pictures tomorrow (Tuesday Night) at church as this is where I see these kids most often. I help out on Tuesday Nights as a leader for these little kids so it will be easy to get pictures of them while they are having fun. I don't know how many images I will actually have but I intend to edit and finish them to look joyful and bright, like most kids are at that age. I'll probably use a lot of color and use the dodge tool to enhance the highlights of each image. My complete concept for this is to show the joy that being 5 is. At 5 years-old, everyone still has that innocence and pure joy of being alive that many adults lose as they get older. I want to portray that through these kids (who I will obviously get permission to photograph). For compositional techniques, I'll probably use interesting point of view more than anything else because kids are hard to get to sit still when there isn't a camera in their face. It will be difficult to actually get any compositional techniques besides point of view and maybe rule of thirds.
