Shadows/Angels by Josh Shelley & Tara Ferguson







Our chosen theme shadows and our sub-theme Angles, are communicated through the aesthetic of everyday shadows. Shadows are formed unintentionally in our reuccuring lives casted from a diverse range of objects. Murry’s concepts of the persuasiveness of photography support our theme of shadows and angles, whereby one can depict a photo in an individualistic manner through different thematic concepts. We chose to capture shadows at different angles, thus communicating the theme. We desired to illustrate and emphasize urban areas and objects, where the shadows and the angles created our photo story i.e day to night. Our music consisted of Autumn Breeze, a calm, consistent, instrumental piece which assisted in our theme of shadows as the day turns dark. Iphoto was our main editor for images produced via our cameras. By using the adjusting tool in iphoto, including the shadows alteration button we were able to draw our shadows out of the images originally taken. In conclusion, through the emphasis on the theme and numerous angles the mundane perception of shadows is captured and revealed in a perspective that is not usually perceived.
