Project 6 Proposal

My first idea for this project is to photograph bare feet in different situations. I think that we can better feel our environment by the sensation in our feet. We feel different textures, different temperatures. I also feel like it gets us closer to nature. I would photograph many different environments and feet movement. I will try to capture interesting light and shadows as well, and also create a good composition. I could take photos inside and outside, and try different angles. I think of this as something poetic and that brings us back to the human roots, closer to our environment.

Shot list: walking in front of camera and sideway, climbing something, feet "catching" the sunset, feet in bath, in mud/dirt, in color paint, feet "in the blue sky", doing feet prints with water on the ground, feet in a small river/stream of water, feet in plants/grass, on rocks,...

For my second idea, I was thinking about taking photos of flowers. I think that it is a good idea since we recently entered the spring season and we have beautiful flowers to see and photograph. It exist a big variety of flowers, all unique and different from one another, and all have bright different colors and shapes. Flowers have a big place in our culture. We offer each other flowers for different holidays but also to congratulate someone or to wish them a good recovery when they are not feeling the best. Flowers are also a romantic way to ask someone out and to show our love. Flowers are here in our festive, good and bad moments. But they are also beautiful to admire in trees and in the wild. I want to show that something that seems so common and simple can still be interesting and beautiful to look at. Sometimes simple things are the most enjoyable.

I would try to catch many different shapes and colors in varied environments. I would play with the light and even shadows to create a good composition. The angle, focus point would be important as well. I could take pictures inside and outside.

Shot list: wild flowers, tree flowers, bouquets of flowers, flowers in a greenhouse/ in a flower shop, a little kid holding a single flower, one flower among other flowers of a different color (and paying attention to the complementary colors to give a better contrast in the picture)
