I wanted so show her in a way no one's ever seen her, hence the cigar, the short dress and the not so modest/lady-like posing. I wanted to represent a different story: her death was a pseudocide so her stepmother would stop trying to kill her. That she spit out the bite of apple (there's a chunk of it at the bottom) and is now laughing it up with the mirror at her clever plan. Now which one most shows that? And which one is most entertaining to look at? tyty. Kayy, from here on out this thread will be dedicated to pictures I have taken, either for projects or for fun.

CAN'T YOU SEE I'M BEING RAPED!? Posts: 4,992 Group: Members Member #4 Joined: July 28, 2004	well there's no real laughing going on in the first one, so i'd say second or third

Gotta catch 'em all. Yep. Posts: 2,481 Group: Members Member #147 Joined: August 26, 2006	2nd is fantastic, the pose and just the explaination behind the composition is clever and executed very well. The third has the best expression. I miss being in art sometimes. jaxxing is going to SCAD in january, he's pretty good at critiquing.

Benny Lava 2012 Posts: 2,219 Group: Moderator Member #10 Joined: August 5, 2004	thank you guys. I think I'm going to go with the 2nd one, enough though some people have said that they like that one best because it'd make everyone to cream.... But, anyway. DA_KLOWN Sep 29 2008, 11:40 AM 2nd is fantastic, the pose and just the explaination behind the composition is clever and executed very well. tyty. Cindy Sherman inspired.

Benny Lava 2012 Posts: 2,219 Group: Moderator Member #10 Joined: August 5, 2004	okay new question. do you think that these pictures can make up a triptych; do they flow together as a story (in the order of 2nd, 1st, 3rd.)?

Benny Lava 2012 Posts: 2,219 Group: Moderator Member #10 Joined: August 5, 2004	I agree, but my back was killing me trying to set the timer and go back to posing. So that's the closet I could get to perfectly centered. The book one I'll redo.

Gotta catch 'em all. Yep. Posts: 2,481 Group: Members Member #147 Joined: August 26, 2006	I like the angle int eh second picture that shows the Mardi Gras poster. I know it was probably unintentional, but it still adds a nice touch. In other news, UR SO PRETYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. I like all of them, but I don't quite understand where the second-to-last one fits in, even though it's a rockin' photo.

Benny Lava 2012 Posts: 2,219 Group: Moderator Member #10 Joined: August 5, 2004	lol thank you. The angle or the poster being unintentional? The angle was planned, but the poster was just there. I tried taking out the name in photoshop at least, but it didn't look right. Edit: I blurred it instead. and the second to last one fits with this: To show a contrast between our environments. She has skyscrapers, and I have a trees and a fence post. LOL oh yeah, in the pushup picture, I have the Rick Rolled shirt on.

Are these all for the Snow white piece or are the rest of these different? Oh, no. The project is basically take 10 photos of yourself, being yourself. Ten of your self, not being yourself. And then ten of yourself being someone else, and it can be fictional or true.

All the pictures I did, grouped by their session. Reality are things true about me; fictional is the opposite and someone else is what it sounds like. Model is me, photographer is me. Reality: Not So Smart: Push up: Sleep: Karma: Photograph: STFU: Stress: Read: OCD 1: OCD 2: Fictional: Clumsy: Suspicious: Impatient: Dramatic: I like the beach: I am a guy: Mannerless: Musically Talented: I'm good at painting: Tree Hugger: Someone else: Snow White series: Cindy Sherman: The Brat: The Runaway: Gambler: Julia Child: Lizzie Borden: The Birthday Girl: Edited by Element, Oct 24 2008, 10:33 PM.
