Styling and Shooting
Beginning this project with some research on several images about fashion photography and how an image can be used as communication, gave me the chance to observe the shape, the symbolism, and look closely at how fine art, graphic design, illustration and photography can be used to create that. By selecting examples of magazine articles, as well as well known editorial pages helped me gather information about the way that a magazine is organized and what it requires for it to be considered successful.
By choosing the poem called “Handprints”, by Parachute Express, I had the chance to deal with the main theme of hands. The poem analyzes how a pair of hands can make you feel the extreme happiness and simultaneously experience the greatest sadness. By analyzing the poem and experimenting with existing photographs about the theme of hands helped me to use aspects of drawing, painting, illustration and photography. I chose several photos that I had already taken which showed some hands and I also included some illustration that could describe with the use of image the meaning of the poem.
Finally, I chose to work with a pair of female hands. I had a white background and working with that I experimented with light, perspective, shades and the position of the hands. By experimenting with light and the different position of hands, I learned how to use perspective effectively. Changing the position of the fingers, several feelings were pictured, starting from touch, love, bonding and forgiveness. Moreover, the different colors of light, such as yellow, green and purple, created an interesting contrast between primary and secondary colors. Moreover, using several colored items, instead of light, I achieved creating various shades of purple and blue. Moreover, I had the idea of including some parts of the body, such as the collar bones, the back of the model, the head as well as the face. Touching her body, the model helped me picture feelings that can be easily explained through the use of hands. Finally, I took the advantage of the bone, in order to experience with light and the shades of it.
This project helped me understand how the use of body can communicate with the viewer, without using any text. Also, I had the chance to use extensively photo shop in my images and picture alternative colors, light, texture and position.
