So as I begin my last (kind of) semester of college and am taking 3 simultaneous art classes, creativity is really the name of the game. I need ideas, lots of ideas- luckily the juices are really flowing lately and I've got a lot to work with.
For my final semester of advanced Photography we are given a shit ton of independence to complete a 7 week independent study by March and then refine our work for the senior show in the Tang Museum.
After lots of debating, I am going with my gut and off to create 10ish portraits of my friends inspired by Beatles songs. Each photo will be a visual representation of that specific song, as I and the subject imagine it.
Each person I choose will have some connection to the song they are paired with, whether that be through a memory between us, a lyric or visually.
I have googled this a bunch, and shockingly not found a ton of people who have attempted this pretty cliche, but cool, idea before- so here goes nothing.
We are just in the beginning stages, but enjoy the first takes below!
