Conceptual Photography (pt. 2)
I thought I’d share another of my images from the ‘Conceptual Photography’ class that I’m taking. Part of last week’s assignment was to further enhance the emotion or idea used in the previous image; this was the solitude expressed by the fork bent over in its long journey.
While I worked on refining the original image, I want to share a reshoot of the same concept with a slightly different approach. I call the image above, ‘A Tree Grows’; the ‘tree’ is the only living thing in the sterile landscape that is presented in the background. I photographed the ‘tree’ in a hanging position with a pure white background and did the rest of the work after the capture; I created a layer from the cut-out of the white background and overlayed that layer with a woven pattern. Sizing this correctly and selecting a position that works finished the image.
I hope you enjoy the image and welcome any comments or questions you may have.
