series 1
The central idea of my final series is abstracted and unusual bodies. I want to normalize the differences in all of us. Taking photos of scars, piercings, freckles, hands in weird positions, the body in fluid motions, and things of that nature spoke to me because I have always been somewhat of a preacher of body confidence. The world has become a mean place as of late, and I wanted to try and bring some positivity and love back. I’ve always tried to be a positive person, and in doing this series, I wanted to show that no matter who you are or what you look like, you are by definition beautiful and unique.
The photos in my final series demonstrate the exploration of my concept because they all portray traditionally less beautiful, less often noticed parts of the human body. I wanted to photograph body parts that aren’t photographed as often, and I wanted to explore new angles and ideas.
The photo of the eye uses contrast and emphasis, as well as a unique angle to get a new perspective on the face.
The photo of the face with paint uses contrast in color and texture, and some unity with the color of the paint and the color of the hair. It warps the face, causing unique highlights and shadows.
The photo of the waist uses contrast in value and form to make the photo of an otherwise boring midsection a little bit different and unusual.
The photo of the shoulder uses extreme contrasts in value and light to highlight parts of the face that are typically not focused on. The body is in a weird, contorted position and uses light contrast and unity to highlight the way the body moves.
The photo of the silhouette uses light to weirdly shape the face and make it slightly unusual and unique. In all of the photos, I used light to emphasize the weirdness of the body and the way it can move. My main goal in the series was to draw more attention to and normalize the complexity and overall uniqueness of the body. Every person has a different body, that moves in different ways, and every body is insanely and unimaginably complex.
