Final Project Statement and Mood Board

For this final project, I would take pictures of either my daily activities in life or the places I normally go to. It’s like a day in a life type of deal, to show what I see in my life and how I view places and people. It’s a fun way for the audience to see what someone else sees and examine how different or similar their communities are. I will show you all the places I’ve been and go to. Places like my home, neighborhood, School, my hangout sessions with my friends, and wherever my daily routines take me. It is also a good way to show a time capsule of a point in my life and it’s fun to show an audience what someone’s daily routine is. For this assignment, I think I will use all sorts of techniques like wide shots, close-ups, lighting, shadowing, and different types of camera angles. Different angles can give a different sense of immersion in how they see a picture of a setting. I don’t really have a specific location to shoot, like I said I’ll most likely take shots at my neighborhood and school location. For my Neighborhood, it can be a hard place to crack down because I live in 2 specific neighborhoods because I have one on my mom’s side or my dad’s side. It’s hard to say if I have to choose a specific location I usually go to but I think it would be fun to explore my neighborhood even more.

    This is pretty vague. the project is to do a series of photos on a theme. I would say pick a neighborhood or even the contrast between two neighborhoods. That could work too.

    You need some better inspiration. Look at this series on Essex Market. It has a good variety of approaches.
