bear suit project!
so for my photo class i made a series of portrait-style photos of different people rocking the bear suit… man i really need an autofocus-capable lens! i took tons of photos, mostly in low light… and hardly any came out in focus… at least the ones that did come out were pretty cool… i did well in the critique, but the thing that stuck with me the most was the criticism of positioning and background… one person said it would have been better with really varied backgrounds (like at the train station… in the supermarket etc..)… and one person said all the backgrounds/positions should have been uniform… like on a brick or white wall… but i think regardless of how well they go together as a conceptual series (and i agree with the criticism, but i was operating under a severe lack of time), these photos came out nicely. enjoy.
they should have all been set up like this one (above)
or this one
hope you enjoyed it
Dude, the Japanese are way too formal about how they conceptualize a series. You should tell them that its voyueristic; its a three dimensional journey across space and time from the point of the viewer. The visual experince that your series creates for the viewer is a living landscape.
