Everyone enjoys capturing moments in time with photos. The photographs we keep remind us of special moments, special thoughts, and memories we want to keep forever. How full is your phone?! My favorite photos are those that say something special about the person I’m photographing or the scene or item I was able to capture. They are my favorites when they are able to project a special emotion to anyone enjoying the photo. “Quietly Serene” says the photo of the lights reflected in the water in the Nature Photography below. “Absolute Joy” says the Orange photo. And “Resolved Determination” says the Blue photo. Those three photos are the ones we return to over and over – they are special.
I did research on the color and it is said that maroon brings on a worried feeling. My main mission was to bring that expression to life with a monochromatic scene of maroon.
EXCITED!!!!!! Orange is said to bring an exciting feeling, and when I think of orange I think of the fruit. I told my model to throw oranges at me and show an excited expression.
Talk about awkward... some of my expressions were a little bit of a stretch because there are only so many colors and expressions that correlate. I do love how this turned out though.
I wanted people to look at this and see someone who is in love. Pink and love are clear indicators that they work well together with the expression of being in love.
Confidence is key and when you receive gold you gain confidence. Confidence is something that always reminded me of gold and that's what I wanted to show.
Here's an obvious one, blue and sad. I loved this one because of the contrast between her freckles, skin, and the blue background. It turned out exactly how I imagined.
The inspiration behind this photo was disgust from the movie Inside Out. I believe this photo was captured exactly how I intended it to and I feel her expression through the photo.
Also another one that was in reference to the Inside Out movie and a clear color and expression combo is red and angry. My model did a nice job with expressing his true emtions towards having to model for me.
When you think of yellow, you think sunshine, sunflowers, and bananas! These things all bring happiness and that's why I chose to correlate yellow and happiness.
