Week 14 (September 20)
WORD: "EMPATHY"Empathy:
The power of understanding and imaginatively entering into another person's feelings
Today I tried something different. I shoot the subject like I always do, with the dark jacket and the white shirt but then I tried to shoot him like he came into my apartment/studio: with his t-shirt on. Today I still prefer the 'classic' shot but I think I will keep doing that for a while and see what I prefer.
The original idea of this project was to have everybody look the same, just the face different. With no eyes of course. I listened to some critiques and I decided that this project can evolve... I am going to keep the hat and the lighting as a unifier but try different look. That may be interesting as it can reveal more about the personality of the subject. I am still not sure thought. I still like the challenge of creating interesting images changing only the expression (with no eyes) - the eyes are the mirror of the soul... I want to get the soul out without showing them!
Any feedback? anybody out there?
I love today's word.
Also, I shot a beautiful portrait of the same subject. He is a writer and I think it shows in the photo. Also, the eyes are closed, and you tell me if the soul is not showing!
It is not part of the project but I want to show it anyway... cos it is nice, and I guess it is a nice break from the 'hat project', the eyes are not showing anyway! F
