Concentration Statement
Many don’t have a way with words in order to express their emotions. It is why so many of us express ourselves using our hands, body and facial expression. Expressing ourselves with our body can make us feel secure, and confident. It is also a way many express their feelings to people without using any words. I wanted to show how important our hands are in our daily life in using them to show emotion. That it helps anyone communicate with others when they don’t know how to. But most importantly I wanted to photography pure emotion that anyone can read by just seeing the photograph. For my concentration, I wanted to capture pure emotion through my models hand position and facial expression. In order to capture the pure emotion, I wanted for my models to channel their own emotions that they were feeling in that moment. I wanted to make the photograph to feel natural and realistic, not forced to the point you can tell it is not real. With this, I was able to explore the idea of showing emotion through someone's body. In one of my photographs, image eleven, I was able to capture the mysteriousness through my models expression of his eyes and the hand position.
