Money is not everything

Part 1:


Composition:

Focus: My focus in this Image is on the Eiffel Tower key chain and some coins around the Eiffel tower.

Photographer’s proximity to subject: I went very close to the subject with a telephoto lens to bring in the effect of shallow dept of field.

Sharpness and blur: One could see a lot of coins all around the place, and as one goes far they become more blur. I have given this effect to the picture to show, that the money is something, which is never sufficient. It takes you away with it, in the hope to find out what is next as we see everything blur.

Concept/Aboutness/Idea: I clicked this Image as a metaphor for Chaos. I want to show two things in this image, one how living in big cities like Paris makes you run behind money all the time and also how most of the times in life chaos is caused because of money.

Method/motivation:

My motivation behind this image was a jar of coins, one of my fiend had in his room. It gave me a thought to click a picture with the Chaos prompt. I went very close to the subject with a telephoto lens and also had slower shutter speed and smaller aperture, to bring in the effect of shallow dept of field.

Context:

I feel this image is self explanatory, and clearly shows chaos. I want people to become aware by looking at this image, that money is not everything. This was a self inspired piece of art.




Part 2:

Interpretation: My classmates easily interpreted the theme chaos. Although they have to know the title of the image to interpret it further.

Evaluation: All my classmates really like this image. They like the shallow dept of field of the image with the background of infinity coins. Some of them liked it because this image had many geometric round coins with one non-geometric figure that is the Eiffel tower. I believe it’s perfect, although If I click this image again I would want to change the lighting.

Extension: I could make more images like this with different things humans go crazy about and use the same technique with the other images.
