Reflection

For this series, the original plan was to high speed action photographs. While completing the project, I felt that this goal was really difficult and I struggled with getting photographs to fit the overall theme. I changed the theme to photographs of nature and photographs of subjects in nature.

Harold Eugene Edgerton was the inspiration for the original theme. My goal was to recreate several fast action shots and edit them to look like they were taken by a vintage camera. My process for taking photographs was driving around with Kaley, the main subject of the project. We drove around and stopped at various different spots where I thought we could make a visually interesting photograph.
