FAMILY DYNAMICS

The subject of this image are my host family's goats in their “house”. I took this picture in a sunny spring day with my camera. Then I print it in the dark room.

The shapes of the faces of the goats give rhythm to the image. The image doesn't really have a full range of values, there are no blacks, what I think gives unity to the image.

Is an informal balance and soft focus. The fence also makes leading lines to the goats. I made it a high key lighting when I was developing it in the dark room by exposing it just a few seconds. I brought up the contrast by putting a filter N 5 but it still doesn't have a lot of contrast.

The project is about family dynamics, I thought it was interesting how the goats have the weirdest family dynamics because they are really mean to each other but they also protect each other, I guess that humans do the same sometimes.
