The first idea I have for the photo narrative is about natures, specifically “details you might have missed” in nature. I’d like to focus on getting up close to nature, straying away from the typical angles and shots you see of nature but instead on getting angles that, for example, show trees from an ant’s perspective or make you focus on the sharp edge of a blade of grass.
The audience for this project is the everyday worker and student, the person who moves through life without taking the time to notice the small things. My hope is that through this collection they’ll be able to feel a sense of awe and wonder in the natural things the world has to offer.
All the nature photos are mine from the past. I intend to take new photos for the narrative if this subject is selected.
My second idea comes from an obscure interest I’ve always had in eyes. Every iris is different, from color to pattern, to the hills and valleys in the print of an eye you can only see under a microscope. For this narrative I’d like to collect pictures of eyes and then have people describe their eyes to me without looking in a mirror.
The audience for this project is, again, the person who is moving “too quickly” through life to enjoy and feel wonder in the small things. The narrative is designed to shine a light on the intricacies and individuality of the eye, and how eyes truly can tell a story without saying a word.
All the eye photos are not mine. I intend to take my own photos for the narrative if this subject is selected.
