Glass & Transparency

Artist Statement:

For this assignment I was inspired by beauty and the beast. This is because the rose in beauty and the beast goes perfectly with my concentration so I wanted to incorporate that through this photograph while accomplishing transparency and glass. I increased the contrast and turned the color intensity/saturation down so the colors weren't as bold. I experimented with angles so that you could sort of see through the glass but to the point where it isn't completely clear through the glass.

If i had to do this project over again I would maybe use a glass cup with out writing so its easier to see through it or use multiple glass cups so the photo doesn't look so awkward with the one cup. I could put other flowers in the other cups to kind of pull my concentration into the picture a little bit more than just a rose.

Overall, I am really proud of my final photograph because it is a little more thoughtful and creative as my other photographs have been plain and simple. I like how you can see the trees in the background but they are almost blurry and foggy feeling and I really like how the rose is one of the main focus. The photograph causes you to look at all different aspects of the photograph and take each piece in one at a time which is very unique and cool to me.
