self portrait narrative
reflection:
For the Portrait Narrative photo series I used my sister as the subject. Through this series of photos I was able to express another one of my sister's favorite things to do: to play basketball. To be able to photograph her playing the sport was great since she authentically has a love for sports.
Each photo of this series resembles a certain aspect of how and where the moment she was playing was. By including a wide shot of the court, close-ups of the basketball, the hoop and net, and also shots of the ball heading towards the hoop allowed for interesting visuals. Viewers of this photo are able to get a sense of the basketball, the court, and most importantly - the player. The most detailed shots of this series includes the close-up of the basketball and the picture of the vibrant socks and shoes. The picture of the socks shows off my sister's interesting taste in basketball apparel. The final photo also shows how my dog likes to take over the basketball and use it as a toy, therefore ending my sister's game for the time being. If you look in the fourth picture of this series you will see that my sister has more than one basketball because of my dog constantly biting holes in the basketballs. |
