Final Project

Dark

This photo is dark in the sense that it's dark thoughts.  Over dosing on medication is what this picture is meant to show. 

Dark

This picture is meant to also be dark thoughts.  This is the picture that follows up the one of the medication because the view of this is through the persons eyes after they have taken all the medication.  Their vision is blurred and they are laying on the floor looking at the bottle.

Dark

This picture is literally meant to represent the dark.

Ethereal/Transparent

This could be either ethereal or transparent because they are both other worldly words.  This represents ethereal because it looks light, airy, and heavenly.  It is transparent because of the rays of light that is in the picture.  Also this is meant to show the girl as transparent and slowly fading away.  Connects with the medication pictures; this is what happens after the other two. 

My Favorite Tasya Van Ree Photos (Independent Project)

This by far is my favorite photo of hers.  I love how it set in front of an every day household appliance, although she still brings the provocative aspect to the image through the legs in the heels.

I like this one because of the light/dark contrast between the girl and the wall.  I also love the emotion it captures of the girl.

I love the intensity of this picture.  Its an awkward position in a weird location although the girl still looks provocative and intense and I feel like she is just staring right through me and it makes me want to keep looking at the picture. 

The light/dark contrast in this image is very interesting.  It makes the image look like there are two stories, one in the light side and one in the dark.  I also get a creepy feeling by how the girl is hiding and just one of her eyes are peering through the glass.  I wonder, what is she looking at?

I love the location of this picture.  It's so interesting and once again I love the intensity of the girl.  She looks very exposed to the outside world here, and it makes me think that she is just watching the world around her. 

Independent Project: Another's Work

For my second independent project I chose to do another's work.  The photographer I chose is Tasya Van Ree.  Her work is meant to be provocative, dark, romantic, intimate, and she really tries to capture the essence of what she is photographing.  I love her work because of what she tries to bring out in them.  I love the darker aspects of them and the contrast.  I also love the intimacy and provocativeness to them.  Here is a link to her blog if you would like to check out all of her work and read more about her.  http://tasyavanree.com/
