Craft: This photograph was fairly simple to take. I simply kicked my legs out and took a picture of just my boots making sure I got half of the train going by.
Composition: I chose the fill the frame in this particular fashion in order to throw dimensions off a bit. The photograph looks very flat, 1 dimensional. I had not planned on getting the CTA logo in the shot, but I am happy it worked out that way because it adds more of a balance. The logo also gives the photography more of a feel of the actual location.
Concept: With this photograph I wanted to visually express the way I was feeling at that particular moment, which was cold and fed up with how long I had to wait for the train. I thought tilting my feet the way I did was a good representation of how long waits can lead to becoming antsy. The flatness of the photograph was a desired effect to illustrate how narrow some train platforms are. Even though the train is one track over from the platform it is hard to tell. This worked out perfectly because I feel that it will ignite a familiar emotion in anyone who has been on a Chicago train platform.
Craft: I created this photograph by placing my shoes strategically on the floor with a tube of oil paint, a paint brush, and with two small canvases my best friend made for me. Once the objects where in their desired positions, I put my digital camera on the floor, turned the flash off and took the picture.
Composition: I chose to fill the frame this way because I wanted to make sure I got a good clear shot of how worn-in my shoes are. I also made sure that the door and part of the chair were faintly in the frame to give the illusion that this room is not very big. I framed it this way because I personally enjoy up close shots… I feel that they are very personal because you can't hide any type of flaw- it is somewhat unforgiving.
Concept: The concept I am trying to convey in this photograph is one of an art student. The paint, paint brush, and canvases gives that way almost instantly. However the “beat-up-ness”/ “worn-ness” of the shoes represent the drive, passion, hardship, and willingness to go without an art student/artist may experience in order to take part in something that they love.
