Critique 3 – Context (Dowsett)

Photos capture the experience of the photographer as well as the subject.

My work articulates the way in which I as a photographer interact with my context and illustrates the intense backdrops on which we live. The monstrous urban city, swaths of forrest, pillars of rock, immeasurable oceans: these are bodies I set out to explore and capture. While I try to interact with my human and natural subjects as much as possible, I also play with light, geometry, and reflection to more genuinely portray the human experience of the moment.

Critique 3 – Laurel

Final Artist Statement:

Capturing little treasures, documenting real life, and finding personality in both the mundane and chaotic leads my camera to discover everyday jewels in the world around me.

Critique 3 – The Journey

My work tells stories that I discover in the environment I inhabit. They are partial glimpses at alternate realities that lie just behind our own. Each image is a frame in an ongoing film that I am in the process of writing with images.

Critique 3 – final portfolio

My work is an attempt to capture raw humanity. Through my images, I accentuate the uniqueness within the individuals who move past my lens. I look past the face-value messages we receive as we walk along the street, instead, viewing the individual’s emotional story.

Ina Critique 3

Context informs content.

My work embraces the whole portrait; this is the relationship between subject and surrounding and how the sum is greater than the parts. A portrait relies on the face’s energy and the content of the background; these two parts converse, intertwine, and enhance each other into a new, complete portrayal. The focus of an image is radically changed by it’s surroundings in the same way a person cannot be made without an upbringing.

Context informs content.

Critique 3 – The Path

As an avid hiker, I witness the humbling tranquility of the natural world, which I look to amplify in standalone frames. Contrasting lighting, mixed color, and the unrefined travels of time reflect our planet’s serene tumult. I hope these snapshots of time foster inspiration and admiration.

CRITIQUE 3 — Human

My photography is capturing the unapologetically human through the forms, expressions and movements found in daily life. The human body inspires my work through its power and grace and resilience.
