Hands

Artist Statement:

For my project I wanted to express how nature and the environment captivate people because it will only be here for so long. I have a love for our planet so I wanted to express that through a photograph. So I captured a photograph as if i am holding nature in my hand. I started by experimenting with the angle and the lighting in several different positions.

Overall, I am really happy with how this turned out, it really shows the way i care about nature and our planet which is what I was going for. If I could do this project over again I would take the photo at a different angle because it feels really flat, I would do that because it would be more thought provoking I feel. Maybe add a pop of color in there somewhere.

I really like how the photograph has like dull colors popping through in the reflection in the window. I thought the photograph was weak at first but its not the strongest I have taken. I really like this photograph even though it's not very strong. Another thing that sticks out to me is the shadow on the left side of the photograph which adds a little bit of a different lighting to the picture beside the light coming through the window.
