Statement of Intent
The theme for this project is Flaws, Perfection, Ideals and Compromises. By choosing this theme I want to show how people don't see the beauty in simplistic ideals of perfection,
that even though people want different things or see things on a different perspective, we compromise what we believe to please others. I also want to show a contrast in people and how they view themselves or are viewed by others with how they dress and act. I want to study this theme because
I believe that I can show the effect of the ideal of perception has on us, I believe that I can
show through my own interpretation what Flaws, Perfection, Ideals and Compromises actually is in my eyes. I also believe that I can present work that will make the viewer realize the small details they miss in the society around them, in the buildings and in the people.
I intend to research about artists that have developed the theme of Flaws, Perfection, Ideals and Compromises throughout the years. Artists like Irving Penn, Aaron Siskind, Elliot Erwitt and Jeff Wall. I also intend to research different digital and manual techniques that I could add to the photographs that I take. I also intend to go to exhibitions so I can find more artists that have captured Flaws and Compromises in history and sometimes the harsh conditions that effect people to create flaws and perception of perfect ideals which are the result of neglect over time. I also intend on going to a gallery that focus on Facial features. . |
I intend on doing photo shoots that develop my knowledge of Flaws, Perfections, Ideals and Compromises. I then intend to do a photo shoot that focus on interpreting Artists Like Irving Penn. Finally I intend to do photo shoots on what I believe presents the theme perfectly.
To develop my theme I intend to improve it by using different camera skills such as varied shutter speeds and exposure settings. I intend on editing my photographs simply on Photoshop and camera raw because I want to show how some things that are simple can be shown as beautiful. By doing this project I hope to understand more about what people see when they disagree with true beauty in their society. By doing this project I want to be able to learn how I myself interprets different objects and people regarding to the theme. I want to learn how to present my work better to help push my opinion across through my mind into my work. The final format for this project may be several photographs of compromises but it also may be several photographs joint together to represent different flaws in people and in vandalism in our society. However it also may focus on people, their inner thoughts, and how they view themselves. I also want there to be manual edits as well as digital as I don't want it to be just a flat surface. |
