My Plan: Four Elements

1. who: people (friends)

    what: four elements (water, fire, air, and earth)

    where: beach, forest, farm, parks, explore.

    when: during spring break

2.

First of all, I love doing portraits of people, because I have always loved looking at model shoots and senior photos, so I got into that. I even started my own gig doing senior pictures and even got paid! And with my theme "Four Elements", it sparked into my mind because I loved looking at Marks underwater shoot because water is so beautiful to me. And when we worked on the steel wool project I thought that was the coolest thing, so I wanted to mix it with the elements around us. For this project, I want to take at least five models and have them go through each element but all different from each other. For example, one person could be coming out of the water, and a different person could have water pouring down their face. However, when I take the photo I want my models to look as if they were part (or in control) of the element, so in other words, blend them in with it. With this project I hope to learn that I am able to find the right lighting, and able to understand blending of colors in a photo. Give it a more mysterious and mythical effect than a straight up profile of a person.
