Experimental Photography: Framing
For my final project, I focused on different ways to frame a subject. I’ve always found it fascinating how natural and artificial frames could be used. Doing this project helped me to focus on the composition of my photos and how to interact with people on a personal level to make them comfortable being photographed. I thought there would be an unlimited amount of possibilities for this project, but it was hard to get just the right shot and take into account how far away my subject must be for the framing to work. 
The critiques in class were extremely helpful in deciding where to take my project. I always like to get feedback on my work to help me improve and become a better photographer.  I want the viewer to spend time with my work. I think it will give the viewer something fresh to view. My hope is that they will wonder how or what each frame is. The main challenge I ran into was finding people to photograph that had the time to sit with me and collaborate. One of my goals from this project was to work with my subject in a collaborative way, this way they would be more comfortable when the pictures were taken. The second problem I ran into was determining what I would use as frames and what would work as good frames. I solved this by working with my subject and those around me to brainstorm what I could use. 
I also had to decide between color and monochrome as well as luster or matte. I decided on monochrome and luster. The luster paper allows the blacks to be bolder and helps to and for my subjects to stand out more. The monochrome added more depth to the frames.

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...
