Final Project #5 Proposal

Since the beginning of this class… I have had an idea of what I wanted to do for our first “free reign” project or final project. I have been trying to incorporate my photography and poetry together for the past couple months, and so far I am really enjoying what I am creating. I propose that I am going to take 5 photographs that I have taken recently, or take during this project (obviously on FaceTime or Zoom because of social distancing) and write poems about the photos, and display them in a diptych format. I prefer for my photography to be a more “commercial/fine-art” style. I like to emphasize a street wear/fashion photography style and have models that know how to pose. I select the outfits/makeup/styling/props/background/accessories, etc. THEN, my poems coordinate with the same tone/feeling/vibe of the image are written after I take the photos, and displayed along side of them. I think a zine format would be a great way to display these images. In my head, my photos are the more “commercial” but still fine art, but stylistic and physical formal element of my creative work, where as the words/poems are the creative, emotional, and non-physical aspects of the work. I am excited about this final product!
