Final Project Statement By Carl Cabrall 5/3/2022

Topic: What is it about? What genre of photography interests you and would you like to explore:

For my final I will be exploring portrait photography. I want to photograph people both as they are in various moods as well as in the studio setting.

What purpose will it serve in your portfolio? Do you want to highlight your conceptual thinking, your design sense, your lighting skills?

I would like to highlight my lighting skills and also highlight my attempts to capture an authentic human moment.

Subject Matter: Literally what will you shoot? I would like to photograph men and women individually – maybe possibly a family.

Style: What will it look like? How will you use photographic style to communicate emotion and point of view? Find at least one example and include at least one image with your description.

Two out of the three sets of photographs will be in color lit by daylight or studio light. However, the third group will be in black and white with a male subject.

Lighting: how will you light your project?

This will be a combination of daylight and studio light. I will experiment with different colored backgrounds to light a selection of different poses by the subjects.

For the final project my topic will be street photography. Street photography interests me and I will focus on various neighborhoods within the city including mine. I won’t just be focused on people but on the backgrounds and architecture that surround the subject itself. The purpose of this project will show how far I’ve come in the topic of photography. I want to be able to highlight my conceptual thinking and design sense for this final project. I will shoot both people in different locations and various subjects such as trains, shops and buildings. It will look instantaneous. I will shoot in an instant any kind of subject in any kind of setting. I won’t pick and choose and stick to a certain theme. It will appear to be without notice, just as it looks like in the example below:

In the example this looks like it was taken in an instant rather than set up beforehand like a scene. Since I will be shooting outside I will not be using any kind of background lighting or flash. I will shoot in the daytime and at different times of the day and at different locations as well.
