My Anthropology class finally got to go outside to take photographs of one another. It's amazing how must more relaxed everyone was when we got to be outside. Maybe it was the fresh air, the excess of space, the fact that we had spent more time together or maybe it was just that we are all outdoor people, but whatever it was, it was much more fun than sitting in front of hot studio lights and trying your hardest not to let others take that oh so familiar high school year book photograph of you again.
There is a lot I can say here. I was focused on framing the picture in a good way and it ended up suggesting something very morbid. The redness on the bark to me looks like blood. I look at this picture and find it almost disturbing a little. The picture to me is not the fun hang from a tree that the moment actually was. Here is an example of how something so simple as red bark has the power to alter the semantics of a picture.
This is what we all look behind a camera really.
And this is what we all look like taking a photograph of ourselves.
Simply a portrait. The blurred background is my effort to stop those menacing branches from stabbing Keith in the face.
I used a slow shutter speed to highlight the falling aspect of the leaves. It left Lily and Keith's face soft but I think it's worth the affect.
A happy leaf moment.
