| Sunspot (2011), Kimber Bowman |
Composition
The lighting for this image is the natural light coming through the window. The subject is the focus of the image, but the light obstructs her from view. The most visible part of the image is her feet. They give the viewer something to focus on when looking at the image.
Concept, Motivation and Method
The concept for this image is finding the beauty in a person without actually seeing the person. I wanted to find some way to obstruct the subject from view and the sun flare ended up working better that the curtain. I took this image at sunset with the subject sitting in front of a large window.
Context
This image looks like an ad for a summery perfume. The bright colors and sunlight give the image a fun look.
Interpretation
The class seemed to feel that this image was a good for a beauty or fashion ad. They also like the juxtaposition of the somber body language and the sunny background.
Evaluation
Based on the evaluation, I think the image is solid, but I'd like to try a reshoot using different body language.
Extention
I really like sun shots. The colors always look gorgeous and I'd like to try incorporating different poses and locations in to the same technique.

| Young Hollywood (2011), Kimber Bowman |
Composition
Is image is about color. There is a high level of contrast in the bright colors, giving the image a neon feel. The tilted angle of the image adds an edgy vibe and gives the sense of the instability common in Hollywood.
Concept, Motivation and Method
The concept of this image is to emulate Hollywood youth. I wanted to portray what I see when I look at young Hollywood. Shades over the eyes add a sense of superficiality and lipstick and top add a sex kitten feel. To create this image I used a tilted angle to add instability to the image. Additionally, I left the face slightly off focus, making the subject look plastic-like.
Context
Many of today’s young Hollywood stars have such a glossy appearance. These stars are also very guarded and superficial. I believe this image captures that.
Interpretation
The class felt that the plastic-look of the subject correlated well with the idea of paparazzi.
Evaluation
The subject and context of the photo were nice, but the image needs to be less bright
Extention
I'd like to try over-saturated images with subjects in fun poses.

| I Don't Wanna Care Right Now (2011), Kimber Bowman |
Composition
The subject is off center to emphasize her location, and the context in which she is set. Contrast is created by the dots on subjects dress and the lightness of her face against the dark background.
Concept, Motivation and Method
The concept of this image is a night at the bar. I wanted to take several candid shots of the people and goings on that evening. The subject was drunk and particularly rambunctious—a perfect subject. To create this image, I chose to put the subject off center so that I could include the other partygoers and create motion. I wanted to give the subject more emphasis, so I lightened her and darkened the area around her.
Context
This image shows the freedom of partying. It reminds me of the song “I don’t wanna care right now” by Lupe Fiasco. The song is about throwing inhibition to the wind and I think that’s what’s happening here. She is has an ethereal quality and it’s very beautiful—even though she’s drunk.
Interpretation
The class really like the position of the girl in the photo. They said she looked like she was in train station.
Evaluation
The subject and context of the photo were nice, but the image needs to be brighter.
Extention
I'd like to try a project using action shots in fun places. I love capturing the energy of a crowd.

| And They Stay There (2011), Kimber Bowman |
Composition
The emphasis of this image is the single hand in the air. The light shining through it gives the image emphasis and contrast with the rest of the scene. The lighting in this image is mostly dark, like the darkness of the nightclub.
Concept, Motivation and Method
The concept of this image is capturing the feeling of a bar. I wanted to make an image that captured the movement, color and fun of a night out. Using a long exposure and flash, I simply raised the camera in the air and took the picture.
Context
This image is reminiscent of news and event photography. I feel that this image could be found with and article about a nightclub. It could also be found on an promotional website.
Interpretation
The class thought this image captured the action of a lively atmosphere. they also liked the motion in the image.
Evaluation
The colors in the image were great, and the motion was good, but a little less motion may have added focus to the image.
Extention
I'd like to try creating and image that incorporates actions in an urban setting. It might be fun to do party and bar shots.
