In the realm of visual storytelling conceptual photography, visual storytelling is a remarkable achievement. It goes beyond capturing the moment, it explores ideas and emotions. Through meticulously planning how they take their pictures; photographers can create images that can cause the viewer to perceive and feel deeply.
What is Conceptual Photography?
Conceptual photography is a genre of photography that aims to tell a message or convey a concept through symbolism.
One part of conceptual photography is using captions to enhance storytelling and make viewers think about the story behind the image.
The conceptual photography theme that I am exploring is surrealism. By using this theme, I am challenging reality, by blending the real world with fantasy. I hope that I can cause emotion and make my viewers think with it.
The visual elements I am using are the sky, my shoes, trees, my daughters, and a glass ball. The lighting is mostly outside light.
Pop Art Lily
This is my daughter lily in pop art form. This is conceptual because it makes the viewer think. For example, you are thinking why am I putting this picture in with the conceptual photography? Plus, it is a cool image.
The converse is falling, the converse is falling!
I used my converse because I love all of my converse shoes and I have been wearing only converse Chuck Taylor shoes since I was 16 years old.
Daisy and the tree.
In this image the statue is falling from the sky and holding a little drink umbrella which is a great (at least it is)conceptual photograph because it defies the laws of gravity and nature.
My project challenges traditional photography because the images invite viewers to stop, think, and love the art behind the photos. This project fits in my overall portfolio because these photos express my art, and my ability as a photographer. They are a part of who I am.
This project has helped me go on a journey of self-discovery, creativity, and perseverance. By discovering conceptual photography, it has paved the way to set goals for myself, be true to myself, and hopefully become a great photographer.
The individuals that are in this project are my daughters Daisy and Lily. Thank you so very much for reading this and have a wonderful day!
