"Self Portrait Idea"
Although I wasn't able to find a certain photographer who takes the type of photos that I want to use as an idea for my self portrait project I was able to find a photo that can somewhat explain what I'm going for. My idea is to take photos and use them as a comparison of the past to the present.Since my photos are comparing the past to the present day I decided to add in photos from the past that my mom has held on all of these years to new photos that I'll take using the different skills I've learned during our course. Most of my photos from the present will be dealing with shallow depth of field to show the difference of how photos were taking back then to the way we take them now and how most people such as myself like the idea of having a shallow depth of field effect to our photos.
The image that I placed above is an example, it isn't a proper example seeing as to how the photos aren't in focused but it's just to get a better idea of what I'm trying to do. My idea is to have a photo from back then which I could use the photo of my dad holding me in his arms as the first photo on its own. Next to that photo would be a photo of myself sitting on a couch looking at the empty space next to me to represent the fact that someone's missing which is my dad since he passed away 3 years ago. Another photo could be of my mom and I back then by itself compared to a photo of us now to show that my mom is still here with me. I got my idea from a trend that happens on instagram that happens weekly called transformation tuesday. Usually the photos are selfies of that person from back then compared to now so I decided to take that idea and make it my project.
