FINAL PROJECT PROPOSAL
I captured this image three years ago when I was walking the streets in Rome. When I took the photograph I wasn't aware of the tone of that moment. Though I managed to capture what now appears to be a shady Italian mob like scene I wasn't aware of that intensity looking through my camera lens. During that trip I took hundreds of pictures but this image, because of the emotion and people has become my one of my favorites.

Rome, 2009 |
My goal is to capture candid street scenes that include images of people that could tell a story or gives the viewer a clear intense emotion/reaction.
Examples of desired emotions could be:
Anticipation
Anger
Respect
Lost
Excitement
Sadness
New Love
Trust
Joy
Seduction
Fear
I would like to use the time while I am traveling in Europe to capture some of these images, others may be shot locally. I would like to challenge myself to pick 3-4 emotions that I will be required to shoot and 3-4 emotions that I can title/define during post processing.
This project will challenge my comfort level behind the camera. My best work to date has been fine detail still life images where I have complete control of my environment. My ability to create a tone and shoot with a purpose will develop with this project. I would like the additional challenge of being given 3 random titles to shoot with intention.
Street photographer, Alfred Eisenstaedt, creates a mood in his work that I would like to develop in my style. I like the timelessness of his images.
