So its a new year, and a new photo class. My project that im going to be working on this semester is something that im really excited about and something that i have been working on since i started taking photo classes freshman year. Im going to take pictures of people in main south. I like walking the streets of main south and finding interesting people and taking their pictures. I like taking pictures of strangers because i feel like if i can tell a story about them in the picture, then its a good picture. Over the past two years i have found and photographed many interesting main south people. Kids, elderly people, cashiers, mothers, etc. I feel as if everyone should know and understand the city in which they live in, and the way to do that is by learning about the people who live there.
I got inspired by Mary Ellen Mark. This is her photo above. She too took real life portraits of strangers on the street. I love this photo and probably wont take one as good or intense, but i love her style. Thats all for know
Don't sell yourself short....you just might make an image or two better than MEM!!!
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great idea! And I know you'll do it amazingly, you have the perfect personality for it.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I almost got scared a little bit when I saw this image because I thought it was one you took and I know it's Main South but that's a little scary for me, haha.
