Plain Jane

The embedding of photography into the U.S. Military was very moving because it gives such an in depth, up close look at what goes on to those who don't witness it first hand. The way that the photo is shown in black and white, simplifies it so the viewer isn't looking at color its more of a view of the action occurring. Seeing the grain captures the effect of the act, fighting is dirty it shouldn't be a clean and clear image its a messy action and is beautifully depicted. The way that Platon is able to photograph actions and individuals in a way that captures their essence using different focuses and perspectives is noticeable in his images. Within different scenarios Platon impressively connects and displays each in a way conducive to that individual subject or individual to tell a story to the viewer. this is an image of me interacting with my cat, it may not be observable but we have an extremely close connection and always have.

I used different shapes and shades as well as l...

I ended up choosing the dancer because of its elegance and the strong influence it had on my life growing up. From ages three to 14 I spent the entire year in ballet classes. Ultimately, I believe this has shaped my personality, well being, and overall the way I am. I can imagine the simple design as a watermark or logo on future works of art or for self branding. Initially I wanted to just make a light pink dancer, it accurately goes with the symbol if you look at the general colors in ballet, but the logo needed a more important meaning.
