Project #5 Part 1

Image 1(Constructed Identity):
Composition: I wanted the image to capture as many photographs around my face as possible. I was not sure as to what to have as the background. I wanted the audience to be able to see the pictures around my face clearly but still able to see my eyes and be able to tell it is me in the image.
Concept: The whole idea behind this image is finding out who i am by looking at who i have grown up with as a way to tell something about my personality and my life. I thought it would be interesting to have people try to figure out who i am by looking at who i know.
Method: I took a mask that i have and i attached many photos of my friends and family. I think Took a picture of myself that included some of my body and then none at all. The ones of my head you only can see my eyes. Which some people say that you can see into a persons soul through their eyes.
 Motivations: I wanted people to try and figure out the persons identity/personality by looking at everyone that is in their life.
Context: I think that this probably relates to many other artists and ways of creating identity.

Image 2 (constructed identity 2):
Composition: I wanted to create many aspects of an individuals personality. Originally i wanted the Main image to come through all the small ones but i was unable to have it look i wanted it to.
Concept: My image is about capturing many facial expressions and bringing them together in order to try and give a look at my personality or the many expressions that humans give.
Method: I took multiple images of me making many different faces and i put them over top a bigger picture. I was wanting the bigger picture to come through but it did not work how i wanted it to so i left it so that all the smaller pictures are on the top. So now this image is called hidden Identity.
Motivations: I wanted to capture the facial expressions that humans tend to make every day.
Context: This are essentially many self portraits put together in order to create an identity from them all. Many artists take pictures similar to these.

Image 3 (narrative):
Composition: I wanted the image to be a shadow of the person so that there would be no detail of them. That way all you would see is the transition of what the person would be doing. I wanted to include the background because to me it added to more to the narrative.
Concept: I wanted to created a narrative using as little detail as possible within the person them self. I wanted the focus to be more on the glass because that is the object that was moving within the frame.
Method: I had to position the lights at a specific spot behind me in order to get the shadow effect i was looking for. I also positioned the glass in a specific spot so that the light would hit it in just a specific way.
Motivations: My goal was to create a narrative through a shadow. I think that i succeed in the way that i wanted to even though the lighting is not quite what i wanted but it was the best that i could do.
Context: I do not know if this relates to any other artists.

Image 4 (miniature):
Composition: I wanted to be able to create a mouth from an orange and in order to tell that it was an orange. I originally wanted the orange to be on its own but it seemed not to work the way i wanted:
Concept: I wanted to create a double of the mouth on the orange so that the orange could kind of become a person in a way. It really was only noticeable when it was next to my mouth.
Method: I carved the orange a mouth or what looked  like a mouth and then i took pictures of it with many different angles and with different backgrounds but it only seemed to work next to mouth.
Motivations: I thought that it would be interesting to create a mouth in an orange. It made me laugh the whole time i did it.
Context: I do not think this falls into any photographers way of doing things or actually doing things.
