FREEDOM (sequential images)

FINAL COMPOSITION

These sequential images are conveying a message of freedom from depression. I came up with the idea of someone gradually rising up from the ground and my partner (Oksana) came up with the idea of gradually increasing the colour in the pictures. The furthest, top left image is the lowest point of the process of the subject's life and the furthest, bottom right image is the highest point of the subject's life. The reason to why we decide to start with a grey image and gradually increase colour into the other pictures is to illustrate depression as a sense of darkness being lifted off the subject. Because Oksana and I think that depression can come in as a feeling of darkness.

We used an iPhone 7's camera to take these pictures. We just used the Photo setting of the camera. After we took the images on the camera we chose the ones we wanted to work with and edited them with an app called InstaSize. We cropped and straightened the photos and gradually decreased the effect of the filter called Radio. To put all the pictures together and in order we used an online photo editor called Pixlr.

THE DRAFT

Reflection:

It was fun creating these sequence images for the first time. Although, while taking the images I realized that I need a better camera to take these photos professionally and I also realized that we also needed a stand for our camera because we couldn’t get a proper horizontal photo it was always slanted.
