Describe:
I took pictures of my close female friends Hannah, Mia and Kaylin, and one male friend, Conner. Mary Ellen Mark's work is full of portraits and capturing people in raw states. However, I had to set up my scene since most of the time we are not underprivileged. We went to an abandoned barn, and set the scene with mirrors and pillows, wearing rugged clothes.
Analyze:
Rule of thirds was the main component of composition I focused on, it adds an artistic appeal to portraits. I also really focused on my lighting and tried to find it in natural elements, since the scene was set to be in a natural environment.
Interpret:
The idea was to make it look like they're homeless, the mirror symbolizes the obsession teenagers have with beauty and appearance, and the environment they were in emphasized that beauty really is all teenagers of this generation can focus on, even if they're "homeless". I think this shoot made me realize that you can make any scene if you set your mind too it. I hope that it made my audience view THEIR world differently and see that beauty isn't always everything.
Evaluate:
This shoot was probably my strongest. I honestly am extremely confident in this shoot but if there was anything I could change I think I would've added more male roles to the shoot, just to create some diversity.*If you wanna see more click the button to the right!!
