Category: Final Project Statement (Page 3 of 3)

Topic – A general topic of photography that interests me would be street photography. Doing my final project on this would be exciting because once again, I enjoy going out and just walking around NYC. Before I use to walk around tourist place and never took time to just stay there and take pictures about what is really going on at these places. The purpose it will serve in my portfolio is that I can capture the feeling and experience of these places for the people that can’t come to these places and enjoy them in person.

Subject Matter – I will take pictures of the environment and people there.

Style – I would like to have a sunrise/sunset type of feeling to it. I want to create a feeling of excitement and make the viewer feel like they are in the picture. In order to create this sort of feeling, I will need to take the pictures at eye level. The picture below was taken by Kevin Burke and this is the style I want to create for my final project.

Lighting – I will use the sun for the lighting for the majority of my pictures. For some I may have to use street lamp lighting or lighting coming from stores.

Topic: What is it about?

• This is going to be on food photography. I live with a baker and she is always baking so I thought it would be a cool idea to have her make something and I can photograph it. As well as enjoying the food photography lab in class. This will be something new in my portfolio. I think it will highlight how well I can place products and think about lighting and setup.

Subject Matter: Literally what will you shoot?

• I will be taking photos of bakery foods, the baking ingredients, the utensils and he finished products.

Style: What will it look like?

• I want all of my photos to be in a birds eye view. I think this view is the most appealing for food photography and seeing the bakery foods photography in this angle made it stand out for me the most. The background would be white and I want it to be a happy mood when seeing the photos.

Lighting: How will you light your project?

• I will photograph my photos in daylight and have some reflectors to help diffuse any harsh lighting or shadows. If I need any more lighting or to remove shadows I will have my own fill lights to help.
