Here are my close-up Imogen Cunningham photos.
I like this picture because of it's simplicity. I know that this is a very common picture, (up-close black and white rose) but it was so fun to take. You never truly realize that something like a flower can have so much beauty until you get that close.
This picture is cool because the flower is not in the center, it draws so much attention to itself even though there are other blurry flowers in the background. Somehow I think that the other blurred out flowers make this picture better, if it was just that flower by itself, i think it would be boring. This gives something for your eye to be attracted to.
The only reason I really like this photo is because of the flags in the background. I know what color the flag is in real life so it makes me wonder what color the flower is. Putting in an element we are familiar with leaves a sense of mystery to the things we don't know. It's not extremely up close but I still think it's interesting.
This project was very different than our other projects because there were some key elements in taking these photographs. Our cameras had to be on aperture priority to get the best image. I enjoyed photographing the flowers the most because usually you see flowers in a whole bunch but when you isolate one and make that the complete focus i think it makes you realize how beautiful they are. This assignment helped me learn more about composition, focus, and subject. The only part i didn't like about he project was that it was difficult to get the perfect angle on some of the flowers, one part would be blurry and the other in focus. After a lot of pictures though, that problem became better.
