Part 1:
Composition: A polyptic displaying 36 pictures of 9 different characters in a single fashion, with dramatic lighting and all of them using the same single white shirt, tie and different elements portrayed by the same subject.
Concept: Nicknames and how we push people into these roles
Method: One single lamp used directed at the subject with a black background and the contrast of the shirt against the background make him stand out and focus all of the attention on the performance.
Motivations: Transgression. I think that I was pushed into a role that I was not sure that I wanted to portray and slowly, I've been trying to pull myself out of it. Years of feeling inadequate have made me come to realize that I was only role playing socially speaking and that we still do role play. But now that I am aware of that, I wish to make others be aware of this situation so they can get a hold of their script on this screenplay.
Context: Yearbook photos, theater and stage play.
Part 2
Interpretation: People were interested, thrilled yet somewhat they withdrawn to make any sort of comments. I think they did understand it and that's why they made more comments on the digitally enhanced series rather than this.
Evaluation: I think that some of the pictures can see the background sheet. I am not sure if I want to remove as this sort of element makes me remember of a theater or a stage which is, again, part of the concept.
Extension: self portraits seem to be fun and engaging because they have made me realize of so many things by thinking them out and performing them. I want to keep on doing them, but I guess that I should be more aware of posing and actually try to over express a little bit for the camera to make it obvious and easily readable.
