collage.


So in class last week, our class was able to go out and do our first shoot. Photography shoot, obviously, so as the pairs went out my partner and I went out and chose that we were going to base our photos on texture and the earth, things that people don't really appreciate and take for granite. So as we set off taking pictures of walls, our classmates and eachother. We started photographing flowers, trees and silly little things.

My collage is based strictly on texture, rocks, flowers and needles. I decided to blend them in by lightening them and trying to make them match to the best of my ability. I put in a lot of obvious things that represent texture, and made them mesh in a way that looked good, attracted attention and had a message. The visual expression of the collage is beauty and an earthly touch.
