Best of Series Project

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Throughout the three weeks we have been working on our series project and I chose these seven photos as my best and most improved.  The positioning of the model and the background colors make the model pop out more.  All seven, I tried to follow Steve McCurry's Afghan Girl picture.  I chose these seven because the backgrounds in these photos create another element to the model.  The positioning and the posture of the model stood out to me most in these pictures.  The body language of the models are more interesitng than most of my other photos.

This week we needed to work on our 3rd draft of our series project.  In my 2nd draft, I finally got the posture similar to Steve McCurry's piture.  For this draft, I was able to take the same picture but with a different perspective.  The posture of the model is a little bit different and can see more of her body than just the torso.  Again I took the picture with an interesting background and focused in more on the model.  There are different elements in this series such as the wind blowing in the hair and the back being more arched than slouch-over.

Steve McCurry - Series Project 2

 

 

This week we were working on our second draft of our series project.  From my first draft, I saw that the positioning of the bodies and the negative spacing were not matching with the orignal Afghan Girl by Steve McCurry.  The first photo was the same photo in the first draft, but I edited it more by cropping the photo and adding more contrast.  My main goal was to have a model pose the exact same way as the Afghan Girl with an interesting background.  In my first draft, most of the models were standing and the pose did not aline with Steve McCurry's photo.  This time I told the model to sit/squat down on the floor and hunch their back a little.  I took the photo vertically, so I was able to get enough negative spacing. Again I used a lot of contrast to get more colors and blurred the background a bit.
