Making the Work
I can relate to this chapter within the context of my series Thank You for Shopping Here. There has been so many times when I thought I was "done," and I could finally put my work together by narrowing down my photos. Upon the narrowing down process I knew instantly: I was not done and needed to go back and shoot more for this series. A series of any kind can not evolve properly if there is a lack of time dedicated to the project. What time does is it shifts the ideas conjured up and pushes it to be more with time.
Concept-based photography has pushed me in the direction of fine art photography. That type of photography requires more than a mere thought, but an idea. The idea then takes consistency and will go through a developmental stage which I find very pivotal for the success of the series as a whole.
My goal as photographer is to connect with my viewer on an emotional level. I want my work to speak volumes with a single photograph. This chapter has allowed to see the different stages there are in photography and the different type of photographer I can decide to be. I want to be the photographer that makes the viewer feel something.
