Part 1:
- The goal of the project was to create a series of photographs that illustrates the concept of gestalt.
- I took a variety of pictures over the span of three different days before narrowing down my selection to three images that I felt best represented gestalt as well as a story element.
Part 2:
- The strongest aspect of this project would have to be the story-like element of the pictures. I presented the images in a sequence and I feel the order tells a story about how man-made structures can never truly restrict nature.
- I don’t think the composition of the photos is very well done, because I ended up shooting for content and very little on the actual layout.
- The composition of my photos could be improved if I were a little bit more deliberate and precise when it came to taking the pictures.
- I should have included more pictures exploring each step of containment to freedom and the steps in between.
- The project could be strengthened through taking more pictures from a variety of angles and then editing down the number to a series of strong images.
- Although I needed maybe a few more images, the limited amount of images was still helpful. Even if one of the images weren’t so strong, it doesn’t drown out my stronger two images, so it’s easier to see the strengths of my images.
