it looks as if i'm going to have to buy a few extra rolls of film. ive taken a few already and am just not crazy about any of them. getting 10 photographs that have something to do with one another is proving to be more difficult than originally expected.
I feel like this project is going to take me a bit longer than expected as well as I seem to be finding out what I like by process of elimination. I really liked the picture I took of my sister in her dorm room. I liked the starkness of the background, and the way it contrasted with her features. I also liked the way she was looking at the camera like she could see through it.
I tried setting up a scene similar to that, hanging up some white sheets, photographing some of my friends, but I couldn't capture anything I liked, everything just looked so awkward and unnatural.
I think the background because it's so plain really makes the people stand out, but I'm going to have to work on how the friends that I'm going to photograph will be posed. I thought it was cool how my sister looked both dead, with her eyes open, and dropped from the ceiling or something, but I just couldn't replicate that. hmm. back to the drawing board.
