Love is...

Artist Statement: For my project I wanted to show my love for my family and brother in abstract way. I wanted to capture my love for my brother Cody by incorporating nature. So for the photograph I wanted to do a portrait but had to incorporate my concentration. I took a portrait of him from behind a tree. I also made sure that the tree shadows fell over his face to add in a more detail to it.

Overall, I am really happy with how this turned out, it really shows the love i have for my brother and what he means to me. If I could do this project over again I would take a more complex photo that isn't as simple. I would do that because it would be more meaningful than it already is. I could possibly take a picture of his face close up laughing to express the fun we have together.

I love my final photographs just because it show my concentration and what I love. I experimented with the angle and the location of where my brother was and ended up doing half his face peeking from behind a tree so that it was a little more complex and thought provoking.
