When deciding what I wanted to capture in my final project, I knew that I wanted to capture that true raw essence of people interacting in the space. I wanted to achieve nostalgia, and memories of being young, dumb, and broke. I wanted to document my time, and hope to keep these images for when I have kids so they can see how fun and young we used to be. This time that I have as someone in their early 20's, is said to be the most fun and carefree time of my life and I hope to take photos that capture that.
I thoroughly enjoyed looking through Dina Litovsky's images. I think they capture that raw and POV style, it creates this genuine look at the individual within her photos. I like that a lot of them do not look to be posed and all have that candid feeling. I read online that people describe her work as visual sociology. This is very accurate to me, they tell a story of people within the frame.
The images I included impacted me the most and were the most inspirational to my final project. Like Dina Litovsky, I wanted to get their reaction and relationship to each other within the photo. I wanted my images to feel a little bit silly but also have that dramatic/intense feeling. I enjoy how crisp and clean a lot of her images come out, I assume these are done on a digital camera with flash, but they are crisp and you can still see movement without the blur.
I enjoy the narrative that these images have, you can kind of guess what is happening in all of these scenarios.
