Still Life

Artist statement: For my family still life photograph I thought about things my family enjoys and likes. I thought about how my family is a huge sports and athletics family and how we love Christmas so much that we leave our lights up all year round. I then took a photo of our lights and basketball hoop.

I like how both photographs turned out and the lighting in the lights photograph. I took both pictures in the evening after the sun had gone down but when it was still light out. The pictures are both very simple, but in the lights photograph the blurred lights in the background really makes the photograph have movement and not feel so simple. The reason I like these photographs, is because they are simple yet have a more complex meaning behind them.

Overall, my favorite photograph of the two is the Christmas lights one just because i like how the lights are colorful and blurred a little bit making your eyes draw to a particular place in the photograph. I incorporated my concentration because I took the photograph out doors which brings in nature to my picture. I really like my final projects although they aren't my favorite from the whole entire year.
