Some images I shot for my Photography 2 class.
The assignment was to shoot a series for Foam Magazine (in theory), and to give our own interpretations on "Our City Life".
Since I am studying abroad in East London right now, I am in a completely different situation as compared to my home (mountains, smaller towns/cities), I chose to explore ideas of alienation and blending in, as well as concepts of the individual amongst the masses.
Once again, I incorporated my now signature prop, Orson the glow-orb, as a symbol of an individual/me. The ambient lights/city lights are representations of the population/masses. Although Orson and the city lights are all essentially the same - lights, and we as humanity are all just people, there is an undeniable distinction when placed in a larger scope. Individuals make up the mass population, yet can be alienated and feel other or simply blend in, devoid of an identity.
I believe I'll shoot/edit some more images and include them into this series in the future...
P.S. This is my first official series of images I've shot on my new baby that I've waited for 2 years - Canon 5D Mark II! Needless to say, I am in love and feel limitless when shooting now! :) I also wan't to thank my new good friend/flatmate, Lily for being my assistant and guide when shooting that night! :)
