first ideas personal project spring 2025

 

  • Stories through still life

    • Create still lifes using things related to each other, like childhood toys with textbooks, showing the growth of a person

    • Fictional still lifes with figures and toys, creating a fictional world 

    • the theme I want to convey are fictional worlds and little scenes.

    • The theme I would like to convey with this idea is a story of growth. I would have to create and convey imaginary people's personalities through images of their "belongings"


  • Animals/people

    • Zoo/ aquarium animals and how they display behaviors being in captivity

    • How people look at them/ interact with them

    • Transportation and consent to being photographed could be a challenge

    • My cats, up close photos of them, how they live together

    • The theme I would like to convey with this idea is the beauty of animals in captivity, animals that are being rehabilitated or pets and human interactions with animals. This theme is the least likely one I'd chose because of transportation.


  • Monochromatic photography without filters/same shapes

    • Objects of the same color or very similar shade in still lifes

    • objects that share a similar figure/shape

    • Finding harmony in objects without applying a same color filter to them

    • This theme would be based on putting uncommon objects together that share similar color pallets. The main thing they would have in common is color or shape.


  • Chromatic photography

    • Complimentary colored objects in still lifes

    • Rather than creating story, this theme is based solely on things and colors that look nice together

    • this theme would be solely aesthetic based, putting together still lifes with different aesthetics and showing beauty in different set ups.
