Roger Evans_Project Proposal

I am going to be sticking with the same theme I did from photo seminar 1 but I am changing it up a bit. While the whole series brought up feelings of loneliness and emptiness, I now want to capture feelings of happiness. I want to explore contrasts between sad and happy if that makes sense. I have attached some photos I did for my lighting photography final project. Each photo shows the contrast between sad and happy.

The idea behind this image is that I like to hang out with friends but sometimes my sadness gets in the way, and I don't talk as much as I would like. The happy side of the image has a bit of transparency because it's like me imagining what I wish I could be doing.

The idea behind this image inspired the whole project. I took inspiration from comedy/tragedy masks you see in theaters. So, this image is as simple as happy versus sad.

The idea behind this image is that sometimes I get in my head too much and it keeps me from enjoying certain things. The happy side of the image shows me reading a book and keeping my mind occupied and actually enjoying my time.

The idea behind this image is exactly how it looks. Sad on the inside but happy on the outside. 

There are more images, but these are the ones I liked the best from that project. To further this project, I would like to recreate the images I didn't really care too much for because they either didn't have all the effort, I would have liked to put into them, or they just weren't successful images to me personally. I would also like to recreate these ones as well.
