Make Your Mark
Leave Your Mark
Missed Your Mark
I decided to take a darker turn with this shoot. When I heard the phrase "make your mark" the first thing that came into my head was the marks people make on themselves. Following this idea, "leave your mark" made me thing of the marks that people have left on their skin and "missed your mark" was when others miss the marks on peoples skin.
The first photo represents the making of the mark on their skin. The second photo of the person pulling down their sleeve shows how the marks they made are on their skin are left there, even when they try to hide them. The last photo of the two people handshaking represents how obvious marks people have made seem, but are clearly missed by many.
I choose to use selective color in this because the black and white images bring the darker feel into the photos, and focusing on the red draws the viewers eyes to the main subject of the photo.
The reason I choose this darker theme is because I've had close friends make marks on themselves, and for a while I was one of the people that seemed to miss it.
*No model nor photographer were injured during this photography shoot*
I LOVE the way you took the phrase "make your mark". A lot of people would never think of others harming themselves and the marks we make on our bodies. This image really shows your creativity. I like how you selectively colored the image in black and white but left the blood colored. Great Job.

I think the meaning inside the picture is really interesting and I liked how you used all three in a story line to portray the concept. One advice would be to maybe try to change the color of the blood to make it look more realistic.
ReplyDeleteThoughtful. Compelling. Nice disclaimer too!
ReplyDeleteThe way you took the prompt is super admiring and I really find your meaning to be thoughtful. I also really like how you chose all three parts of the phrase and created one image for each... good work! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your intepretation of the prompt! And I like your use of selective coloring! Get job!
