Assignment 1 - Part 1

First Image (girl at piano)
Composition: I choose to place the girl off to the side, so you could see the piano and the background so it felt like home.
Concept/Aboutness/Idea: This reminds me of the holidays when all your family is home and you can relax and enjoy yourself by doing things like playing the piano.
Method: This is a scene in the house I live in at State that has always given me a feeling of home. I turned on the lamps to give it some glow and warmth, but other than that I didn't change much.
Motivation: Because I see this scene daily, I have always imagined someone playing the piano there, just like I do with my family, so I wanted to recreate that.

Second Image (Basketball Hoop)
Composition:Ultimately, I chose this photograph because I liked that you couldn't see the whole basketball hoop, in particular the top of the backing. I think it gives it more interest, especially because of the negative space created.
Concept/Aboutness/Idea: This basketball hoop is located behind my house and I've always loved the way it looked. It's old and doesn't get much use and I find that very interesting.
Method: Again, I see this scene a lot and when I saw that the sky was so light it almost matched the backing, I thought it could create a really cool image.
Motivation: I like things that are old and used, and I wanted to capture that.

Third Image (Statues and Trees)
Composition: I wanted these three figures to be off center and not completely in the photograph and I liked the texture the trees gave in the back.
Concept/Aboutness/Idea: I like how fun and playful these images are. They really capture a child's spirit, which I love to bring out.
Method: I took many photos at all angles to finally find one I really liked.
Motivation: Again, I like that these statues are so playful and fun. I don't take life very seriously and I don't think others should either.
