I turned in this assignment a couple weeks ago. It called for students to select ten photos that would tell about a person. We were expected to expand beyond the typical representation of a portrait and explore new ways of showing a person.
I decided to stick to the main definition of the portraits. In retrospect my idea was a little underdeveloped and had made me rethink they way I plan out a project. My main idea was to photograph one subject in a well lit background with various items of personal importance. I also wanted to add a mask into the portraits to convey not only a sense of irony, but also to symbolically represent the masks the subject has in real life. I realize now this may have been a little under developed.
These were the five I selected out of the 50 or so. I could have selected more, but I felt torn between keeping to this subject and including other portraits I had taken earlier in the week. As a result, my classmates were confused by the arrangement's concept as a whole. Even though I did separate the two groupings it seemed like other people in the class only shot single subjects. The shots I selected for the second arrangement were more themed around friendship and showing the different personalities between my different friends.
