Ruidan Li Final Project Proposal

In the final project, I plan to photograph ice cubes or ice balls with micro toy figures in them. I will use moulds to make ice cubes and layered them together as a scene like the polar region. And I will also put toy figures in the water when I ice it. To set the scene, I will use black cardboard or backdrop to minimalize information, then audiences will just focus on objects in the photo. Ice cubes/balls are easy to make, and toy figures are also easy to manage. Therefore, this setting gives me chances to revise the details after I receive critiques. 
Inspired by a documentary called Our Planet, I was amazed by the magnificent ice burgs and great flocks of polar animals. These filmmakers and researchers present the current condition of nature scenes on earth, and they reveal the danger of climate change. Ice burgs melted, polar animals became desperate, and they are not far away from our lives. Nowadays, there are always voices stood for climate change denial, but the truth is obviously converse. I desire to exhibit my project as a signal to the public, to address the issue happened in the world. It’s relevant to our life.
The challenge I anticipate is about the props. Ice will melt and it could mess up other props. Also, the lighting needs to carefully set to show the texture of ice cubes and details of toy figures. Also, I need to figure out what angles will illustrate the idea better because all the objects are small in scale which could influence the audiences’perceiption when interpreting the theme of my project.

Shuyao Wang's final project proposal

I want to photography the benefits and beauty of things especially the landscapes in the morning. I intend to photograph it because I really enjoy the morning in a day, because of the fresh air, healthy lifestyle, most beautiful views in a day. But I find that many of my friends and even me sometimes prefer to stay up late and get up nearly at noon. Thus, we miss the whole morning and couldn’t have a choice to feel the benefits of morning. I think it is not good and bad for our healthy. And we couldn’t understand  important of morning more and more after we continuing following the wrong track. I hope to use this time to  photography morning and its beauty to convey the feeling of morning in a day give me and show the advantages of morning to remind myself the importance of morning. I think it can also be a strong prove to the people who couldn’t understand the importance of morning its benefits. The factual pictures may be a better choice than verbal words.  I plan ...

Leamy: Final Project Proposal Revisited

Final Proposal              For my final project, I intend on following a similar vein from my style project and photographing homes that have a sense of personality and uniqueness to them, specifically in State College, Philadelphia, Downingtown, and West Chester. I want to photograph this subject because I personally find homes very appealing and I think they have extreme potential to tell a story to a viewer that perhaps would have been unexplored otherwise. Furthermore, I want to address the discrepancies present among different towns and their houses (State College versus living spaces in Philadelphia versus another suburban areas of Downingtown and West Chester). I think that the photos could work well in conversation with one another in sharing more about a town and perhaps the people that may live in that area.              I intend on visiting...

Garrett Curfman revised proposal

Garrett Curfman Final project proposal Photo 202 For my final project I have decided to take photos of city atmospheres. This includes the backsides of building, and items that reflect a “backstage” view of the atmosphere. I chose to do this because I love cities. New York City is my favorite place. Myself alone in the maze of concrete buildings and seeing all the unique aspects of the city get me inspired to create. There is so much personality and stories to be told by the streets and buildings that I pass every day in downtown State college.  I have photographed buildings, streets, alleys, and different items found in the city environment that further reflect where the photos are taken. I met a few challenges when creating this project. One was the weather. It has been a cold few weeks so the amount of time I spent outside was much smaller than I anticipated. Another is locations. I have broadened my horizons and find new places that I haven’t photog...
