I apologize that this is a day late, but here is the work.
Chapter Summary:
In chapter one, Schwartz talks about making art. The three steps of fine art photographers can be loosely compared to the last three years of college where photo students learn the basics, level up into concepts, and then find their own way in the seminar classes. In my personal work I have always strived to have an overarching story or theme. I want my pictures together to be a narrative. Schwartz states that each picture alone should be able to stand by itself but together they all form the story or idea. It has to inspire the audience to feel. While each of us think of ourselves as full individuals with new creative ideas we have to figure out where they come from. Who are we actually emulating?
In classes here at ODU, we don’t really talk about where to go next with our photography. I did not know what residencies were until the start of my senior year and even still I’m unsure about how to put together a nice portfolio and application. When thinking about the postgraduate job market they didn’t cross my mind.
Project Update:
This week I continued with resin work and will finish making the actual pieces this week. Playing with focus during these pictures has been interesting. There are many pictures from the same angle as I figure out what to do or what stance shows movement best.
