For my second assessment, I will be composing a series of images which must tell a story based on a chosen phrase. The phrase I have chosen to work with is “the dead of calm”. The term “dead calm” generally refers to an object having no movement however the phrase suggests something deeper than that. To me, the dead of calm makes me feel anxious. It depicts the emotion of when everything is at a standstill. When everything is calm, that should make one feel at ease, however that is not the case for many. I want to showcase this message through my photography as I develop new skills each week I attend class. I am aiming for a minimalistic structure in my images however I believe with the correct exposure as well as colour balance, I will be able to captivate my audience through my photography.
