The main idea to my concentration
series is the teenage perspective on life through photo stories. A photo story
is a group of images ranging from one to five photos. My connection with this
series is I am a teenager in high school. I have a different perspective on
life then adults do. Some principles of design that I used in this series were
close up, rule of thirds, portrait and landscape. I picked this topic because I
wanted to have others see life from a teenager’s perspective.
In the
beginning of my images I was trying to use value and contrast, but I decided
that I work better with color. An image I took was of a teenager holding her
forecasting sheet, in black and white it was very grainy and didn’t look well
with the photo story I was going to do. For a single shot story, I used photo
shop to merge an image of a girl taking a picture with a landscape of trees, it
showed how the teen was growing up and looking forward to her career as a
photographer. I used photo shop to make the colors stand out more than they
already did. I used levels in photo shop
to make the blacks in the pregnant image to make the image seem as a horrible
situation. I used multiple warm colors and cold colors for some of the stories.
I used cold colors for the moving photo story to make it seem sad about moving
away. I used artificial lights for some of the single photo stories to make the
mood a somber feel in the image. My final closing images reached my goals in
the end. The stories were what I wanted to viewers to see. I started off with
portraits of people and in the end I ended up making photo stories of the
teenage perspective on life. I used leading lines to pull the attention from
the foreground to where a girl was in the back of a bathroom alone.
