Assignment 6- Final Images

Mirror Reflection

Water Reflection

Window Glass Reflection

Utensil Reflection

Reflections that reveal the past times:

Composition:

Framing: I have framed all the images to include a reflective surface and the actual body of the person in all of my frames. I also tried to give a meaning to a lot of these pictures by adding elements in the picture to show more about where the subject is and what she is doing.

Perspective and point of view:: In all the pictures I try to show the viewer the two personalities, one modern and one traditional. 

Sharpness and Blur: In some the pictures I had to keep very strong depth of field to show the subject along with the reflection, and in some I kept a shallow depth of field to blur the background in the picture.

Concept/Aboutness/Idea:

I had to take two pictures with the same setting but the model in the modern then traditional dress and then compile the 2 pictures together into one using Photoshop. Each of my picture shows the model and also her reflection. The reflection shows the model in cultural indian attire, but in western cloths in reality.

Method/motivation:

My motivation behind my idea was an image I clicked to recreate a painting previously in this class. This old idea evolved during a class discussion with my classmates and became even more interesting and challenging.

Context:

This series shows the change in time, how the old times were cultural and traditional and how the new age have become modern by reflections on different reflective surfaces.
