MUSIC Ideas

When people hear of music they gain different aspects of every emotion possible. Happiness, Sadness, Anger, Frustration, Understanding, etc. When I listen to my music I gain a perspective of understanding of the world and how dramatic it actually can be. The images presented below show the work of simple instruments and a great work of detail with minimal information. I saw the image of the girl with the headphones in class and decided to look further for images like this. I thought it was a cool technique.

I plan on using an electric guitar and a retro style microphone with its stand. I'm still debating on whether I want to keep the effect of the black and white or have the color of the guitar or microphone show in the last hero post. I love black and white photography so I might end up leaning towards that effect towards the end. 

I plan on attempting this type of lighting by using a black seamless. Having my subject about 5 feet away from the backdrop, fill lights on the each side but closer to the backdrop and a hair light above the subject. Depending on how the fill lights are effecting the image, I will also try with just the hair light and see what type of effect that does.

My Hero Shot!
Using the depth of field either great or shallow, allows the subject to either become distorted and abstract.  Uta Barth is my inspiration. Her ability to create wonderful images with light and motion are a great way to witness the world. I wanted to create more of blur with the blinds above as the images before. As much as I tried to move forward towards the camera I would loose the light that I needed. Self portraits are not my forte however it was okay to shoot. My original image was in color and a bit more dull. I brightened the image and added contrast to get rid of the background behind the blinds. Making my face into a silhouette was on purpose, again I like to work behind the idea of abstraction and the unknowing. 

My work begins with an approach and emphasis on abstraction and disorientation to provide a means of escape from the tangible world.  I emphasize selective focus and start the edges of the frame within ordinary scenes to cultivate a sense of mystery. My ambition is to broaden my creativity and see the world from a different perspective through the eye of the lens. Making my images black and white adds a sense of mystery to the photos, making a less tangible object in the world.
