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?
For this project I wanted to capture motion. I really like the photography of Chip Forelli, but after trying and trying to get something close to his, I have decided that his pictures take a lot of planning I just don't have time or money to plan something like that. Enter the Shutter Zoom technique. While my images will not be exactly as soft and dreamlike as Forelli's there will be a feeling of movement still.
Forelli's images are my entire inspiration for this, and his images always look so smooth, they almost look drawn or painted. So I want the viewer to feel the same way about these images, but at the same time I want them to understand that it is being created with a camera. I will be photographing people, but I don't care if the people are smiling, or straight-faced.
