Blur Assignment
For this prompt, since I could not focus on the focus of the picture, I wanted to focus on posing and color. I wanted to see how I could portray feelings without the use of focus. What I wanted to capture was the essence of love. How love can feel warm and inviting but also a bit confusing at times. The blur of this photo represents that. The confusion that the two people share when things are first starting out. Yet the colors depict a sense of love and the pose do the same. I learned a lot about how sometimes you don’t have to do this traditionally to create a beautiful photo. I will definitely try using blur next time I am out shooting.
