I had a look through pinterest for examples of my project, but i couldn't find a photo that shows what i want to do, so instead here are examples of Silhouettes that I want to try and do. I don't know the artists who made these or when they were done.
These are examples of the type of eye photos that I want to take.
I started my book of with a poem that I had found suitabe for what I am doing.
Eyes are the windows to our souls by katrina vella
Eyes are the windows to our soul
Reflecting the spirits within
An opening to the wonder of life
From the depths and layers of humanity
Eyes reflect the mystical beings we are
Like the moon and stars in the cosmos
Our souls take flight on angels wings
Around the heavens on a celestial journey
Crying tears of silver glass
Eyes water through sadness and joy
Portraying emotions from the depths
That rise and fall like the waves on a shore
Eyes are a Symphony of colour
Which every soul is attracted to
They are connected by the string of life
Held together by the gravity of nature
Like a mirror our eyes reflect who we are
Souls that wonder this earth
Like a candle in the mist
They will always show our spiritual light.
I think that poem says it all honestly but I carried on to why I like photography
I have always been fascinated with taking photos. I always loved taking photos of when I am out with my friends. Its a way of recording memories and showing people what I see. I have always been obsessed with capturing special moments and emotions and seeing people react to these photos. Being at school learning to collaborating with other students have made me realise how much I love to work with other people. Which emphasises why building relationship are important.
I love photography because it into duces me to new people and it inspires me to go out more often and enjoy more adventures plus I can do photography where ever I go
Photography helps me to remember what I easily forget and it shows that I have a past and I show people that.
Which brings me to this photography project I want to show everyone the value of treasuring what is important to them.
A brief bit of research about eyes:
"eyes are the window to your soul"
This is why I choose eyes as the foundation. Eyes are linked to a person's emotions, it has been scientifically proven that eyes can show more that 55% of thoughts and emotions, that we can recognise, we can recognise truth and lies, also someones intentions, wishes, fears, self-confidences.....
Some experts even say that the eyes are the mirror of reason and love and that in their expressions a lot can be revealed without a word being spoken.
Moving on to silhouettes:
One of the reason's that I love silhouettes photography is that it can portray a powerful message without needing any complicated or messy detailed image to show it. Silhouette photography is an amazing way to show drama, mystery, emotion and mood in a single image.
Silhouettes have a long history, having many different names such as, "profiles". Which was a style where a person had the outline or "profiles" carved and printed to be sent home from the wars to families. which became a romantic symbol, still recognised today.
Silhouettes can be anything. including a pet or important objects or plant life's. and they all look amazing.
For my final project I want to incorporate the emotional pull from the eye, alluring people to look closer at the image to see the image hidden, the hidden message in the eye portrayed by the silhouette. hopefully the viewer will take their own message away. I intend to do this by using a macro lens and getting volunteers through my friends and school. I am hoping to get a lot variations. I want to incorporate what is important to my models to make this project more personal and to give it more meaning as every one is different with different values. i'll double expose these images together in photoshop for the final project.
