Nothingness 

Artist Statement:

For this assignment, we were tasked to create images where parts of the subject are removed to show"nothingness" I used my sister as my subject and took a lot of photos around my backyard and porch so I had many to choose from.

I tried to make the composition interesting in both of my photos by the placement of her hand. I started off with her just standing behind the blinds but it ended up looking pretty boring. I also edited the color in both images so that they were darker but the colors still popped. 

I like the way that these photos make the viewer do a double-take.  There isn't a specific meaning or story behind them, but
I feel like there is some sort of emotion shown, especially in the second one. She looks as though she was locked out of the house and is begging to get let back in or something.
