In order to make sense of what i was doing i wrote out notes to help me in my research and to help define what i was doing. This is them typed out how i wrote them.
Vivian Maier's self portrait's in the street,
her shadow in her photos
- culture being personal?
- not necessarily about yourself
- shows how you are distant yet part of everyday culture
- I am in the photo but you cannot see me
- behind the camera, realization of this in self portrait reflections
- how people are connected with everything around them without realizing.
- a connection between yourself and everyday life that represents what has become so normal and 'everyday' that we don't see it.
- street photography, the 'ultimate' culture photography?
- look at shadow photography
Why do we take pictures of ourselves?
- to relate to culture
- to be part of the world we live in
- to show others who we are/what we look like/show off?
- back to fashion photography-shows beautiful people as a big part of our culture
- what is beauty? composition, rule of thirds again
- how can shadow be beautiful?
- how does it express fashion?
- self portraiture
- street photography
- don't show face, just shadow and surroundings,
- how does this effect our perception of beauty, person or place?
