term 4 - photo essay
narrative
The subject of my photo essay is nature, which I took at Pierce Beach in Somerset. I selected this topic because I liked how these simple ideas turned into very interesting compositions. While taking these photos, I wanted to display the fact that these photos were taken locally (in town) and they portray the simple beauty of the nature around us.
To show a "story" in my essay, I began with taking images while walking down one of the many paths and trying to play with the sunlight shining through the trees. At image #7 you can see that the environment starts to change to an open field that these paths lead to. A viewer can see that the light starts to change which adds more light color to my photos (like the rich greens and light blue from the sky). When you get to image #13 during my "story" you see one of my favorite photos from this collection. The stairs let a viewer know that environment will again start to change (which it changes from a field to the beach). Throughout the photos on the beach, image #17 is my personal favorite. I was very surprised that the composition came out the way it did. Everything about the photo --- the background, the colors in the sky, and the position of the swan is visually strong.
