Written Reflection
In my photo series, the theme that I explored was emotions. I photo graphed my family at Thanksgiving dinner. My photos show the theme of emotion because for example in my first photo, the three people you can tell by their faces are all laughing so they are expressing a happy emotion. For my 6th photo I took it from an angle facing down. I was also relatively close to her. "We are all ugly, we are all beautiful. To recognize the ugliness and the beauty in others, you must first accept those qualities in yourself. As an exercise in empathy and photography, go out into the world and try to photograph a whole palette of different human emotions and breadth of experience." P65 This quote relates to my series because I am a person that personally likes to photograph nature, anything other than people. So when I took these pictures I thought they all looked ugly, but in reality all pictures have beauty in them even if you personally do not see it.
Metaphor
Metaphor is a thing regarded as representative or symbolic of something else, especially something abstract. My photo in the bottom left corner uses the objects to express meaning. The magnifying glass on top of the book shows interest in the book and represents how to deeply interested you have to be in the book to understand what the author is trying to convey. The dimming of the lights and the added objects to the suitcase and the placement of them creates an interesting composition.
