Question #24

Write a detailed description of your “motivations” for your final self-proposed project. Why are you interested in this subject? What do you want to convey? How do you want viewers to respond? Why are you inspired to make these images/this project? Do you want to evoke emotions in viewers? Shock viewers? Make them laugh? Make them think? Inform them? Reveal something about how you see the world? Reveal something about yourself, a person, a place, a feeling, a memory, a moment in time?

So I think that I am interested in the aesthetic of the snapshot photo because it seems so reversed and backwards from the progression of photography. I want my portrait snapshots to be interesting. I don't know how yet though. I want them to be captivating for their colors yet people to love them for their subject and aesthetic. I feel like I need to still think out why I want to make the photos the way that I do. But at the same time I don't know if I could ever make out a good reason for them, they just are they way they are for the reason that we are the way we are.
