Project 6: Proposal

 Idea One: My best friend's Pregnancy Journey 

My goal for this proposal is to capture a photoshoot every week of my bestfriend and her belly. Some photoshoots may be plain and basic and the other photoshoots will have a theme. Each photoshoot will be in a different location shooting different poses! This idea is something fun and I can capture it throughout the rest of the semester and I plan on continuing it after the term is over. I came up with this idea because I want my bestfriend to remember this pregnancy and for us to see her belly growth till babygirl is here! 

(Test shots) 



Idea Two (Alternate Proposal): Have you ever heard that rice water helps your hair grow? Well I think this would be a chance to find out. This proposal idea is to take a picture of my hair growth each week after I use the rice water method. This gives me a chance to see if it actual works and/or how long it takes. First week ill capture my curly natural hair after using the rice water, next week ill take a pictures of my hair straight and keep switching to see the growth in 2 forms (curly, straight).

Research & Write: Cartier-Bresson Image Critique

IMAGE 1

SPAIN. 1933. Andalucia. Seville.

I chose this image because I love kids. This image also stood the most out to me. You can tell they live in a poor community by the holes in the wall and rocks everywhere but they are still having a blast. I like the timing this image was captured because it caught all of their facial expressions in the moment. I feel like these kids are on teams light shirts vs. dark shirts. I paid close attention to what the kids are playing with it looks like a hoop and bucket from this you can tell this community lack resources. This image brought back memories to when I was a child and played outside all the time. This generation of kids are so into technology, you never really see kids play outside like this. The little boy on the crutches stood out to me because I am surprised he even had those considering it looks like they lacked resources. 

This image looks like it was taken on a cloudy day, not much shadow is being seen in the image. You can tell this was an off guard image and captured within the moment. Henri did a really good job at getting everyone in the image without it being blurry. Henri Cartier-Bresson behind the wall kinda making it look 3D by capturing the hole in the picture also! This image shows depth of field by having some kids further back and some standing closer. This image is amazing because you can tell the kids are thankful for what they have and having as much fun as they can considering the circumstances.
