2 Ideas for Final Project

My first idea is a David Lynch theme. Each page will have its own story told by the photos. The photos will be taken in very dramatic lighting and with stark contrast. The stories told by the photos will range from a kind of noir detective genre to sort-of horror, so there’ll definitely be a few black and white photos. All of the pages and their stories will have some ambiguity so it’ll be up to the viewer to make their own inferences.

My second idea is called “Space Odyssey” (inspired by the David Bowie song). I’ll draw these little astronaut cartoon guys with each one in a different position. Then I’ll take pictures of them with different backgrounds to resemble space. I’ll have some other backgrounds that aren’t space-themed, but I’ll make it so that it looks other-worldly. The story will start off with a lift-off in a rocket, and then it’ll move through the astronaut’s adventures before it settles down permanently somewhere.

Photographer Pick- Lisa Ross

For my oral presentation, I have decided to present on photographer Lisa Ross. I chose Ross because her work always catches my eye with the small pop of color against a desolate landscape. Her work also has a lot of interesting external information since her subject matter is the Uyghur people and their shrines, and her subject is the persecution of their culture and religion by the Chinese government. Lisa Ross was also really caring and passionate about her work and she thoroughly explained the facts and her thoughts to me, and she made me eager to share this with other people as well.
