For this photograph, I represented Elena as how I see her. I made the background gray because she is very dark, but I still chose this photo to be in color because it is much "brighter" than the other one. I chose a horizon line for this shot. Elena has depression and anxiety but I always like to remind her that there is absolutely a brighter future on the horizon. She does not always believe me, and this photo is basically the face she gives me when I tell her, so under the seriousness, it has a little bit of humor.
I did this photo of myself, because I am seen as pretty happy, according to my friends. The photo is pretty bubbly, and I like to smile so this is represented here. There is more to me, however, so this is represented by the map. As much as I just like maps and collect them, I really enjoy the symbolism behind them and I think it also symbolizes me. Maps show that there is always something more, and looking at a map and really learning about it can open many doors.
This photograph represents more how Elena sees herself. Her inner-self can best be represented by the black and white. This really reflects her nature as an individual. She took the secondary photograph at night time, which not only is symbolic, but also adds really cool depth and lighting to the photo.
For me, this photograph is another side of my personality, inside and out. When you don't know me that well, I can be seen as quiet an sheltered, which is why I covered up a lot of my face. However, I do have a big personality when I am with people I am comfortable with. This is why I chose to have my body take up a lot of the frame. This one is in black and white, which also represents this side of me.
To be honest, I did not like this project. This is not really the type of thing that I enjoy, so I struggled to make them look good. I am not really happy with how any of them turned out, even after spending a lot of time of them. The process and concept behind the project is nice, but it just wasn't for me.
