Gallery – Seeing Things

Critique 3 – Context (Dowsett)

Photos capture the experience of the photographer as well as the subject.

My work articulates the way in which I as a photographer interact with my context and illustrates the intense backdrops on which we live. The monstrous urban city, swaths of forrest, pillars of rock, immeasurable oceans: these are bodies I set out to explore and capture. While I try to interact with my human and natural subjects as much as possible, I also play with light, geometry, and reflection to more genuinely portray the human experience of the moment.

Photostream 10:

I shot some things I liked.

Photostream 9:

I took photos that illustrated the relationship between text and image with one of the most text related art forms – graffiti. I also took most of the images at one specific location to see the range of text present in one area and from multiple different artists. (Two other photos present which I thought showed a different and more complimentary use of text in images rather than as subjects)

Photostream 8:

Photostream 7:

I photographed dots – as small subjects in large concepts representing a dot, as collections of dots, an actual dot, etc. I set out to find what defines a dot
