Class 11 Prints and 2 Final Ideas

Peter Despres

Idea 1: Photos arranged in such a way that they appear as if falling like rain, perhaps rolled up into wads to appears closer to tears. Could be strung up from the ceiling and walked through (ideal) or hung on a wall in a diagonal falling motion from right to left (tension) Subject will be pain, any kind (emotional, physical, mental, etc.)
EX: 




Idea 2: Photos trapped inside garbage bags and must be torn open and removed from bags. These bags will be piled on top of one another, perhaps filled with bottles and cans and cardboard as well as photos, the viewer must willingly search through the rubbish to find the art, just as I as a photographer must do. Subject will be garbage, back by popular demand.

Potrait, Two Ways Assignment

Peter Despres
6 November 2017
Camera: Nikon DSLR

Keely Fickau
Okay, I asked Keely to gather clothes and props and use the space however she felt would best convey who she was as a person, and this is what I got. I can't really explain it, but I'll give it a try. Keely really likes to drink (safely), hence the bottle of rose she's cradling like baby. She is very open and confident in herself and her appearance, hence the setting and robe/underwear combo, but she doesn't let just anyone into her life, hence the half open curtain and snarky expression she's making. The lighting is natural, ceiling light (above, slightly to the side) and light from the following room (Front) to convey Keely in her natural habitat.

Psycho-Ficho
So Keely really loves to smile like a crazy person, so for the contrast of her natural persona, we decided to go all out with it. We moved from the bathroom to the bedroom, placed her standing atop a chair, killed the lights, and when she finished messing up her hair and changing, we were good to go. Her nickname for this side of her is Psycho-Ficho. For lighting, we used a hard lamp below her head for the spoooooky effect, and lit her softly from the front with a small flashlight to create the ominous shadow behind her.
