Pinhole camera project

I decided not to edit any of my photos past inverting them to embrace the imperfections of my work. I have ripped photo paper and cut photo paper that is off to highlight the imperfections in my work. With one of my self-portraits, I even got pen on it and I decided to fix it but I didn’t want to just cut it and ignore the mistake I had made so instead I ripped it to highlight the mistake and embrace it. 

Duration sequence (ass pics)

-       The duration shows the learning with the pinhole camera, first and second picture are shaky and not clear, also a line through one of them and it just isn’t the clearest, but it shows the learning process to get a good picture. The third one is still a little blurry, but I honestly like the esthetic. Shows the time it takes to work through a problem and working through how to take a good photo. 

-       So, mooning pictures, why did I decide to do mooning pictures? You might ask, I have three main reasons behind it.

o   First reason is that the box I used for my camera holds a lot of negative energy and weight for me and it is kind of like a last fuck you to that part of my life. 

o   Second is from a more feminist perspective in that mooning is seen as a more male act and it is seen as quite vulgar and not “lady like” so it is taking this back for women and showing that we can be vulgar, and nudity doesn’t have to be inherently sexual. 

o   The last one and I think the most important is that its 2021 and we are living through a pandemic and I’m out here taking pictures of my ass with a pinhole camera…. That’s fucking hilarious I think anyways 






 

Self portrait

-       I took a couple self-portraits and inverted them. 

-       Not much to it just a picture of me 







Where my eyes cannot go 

-       I decided to rip and cut photo paper and then stick it back together and take a picture then develop it with the ripped and cut paper. 

-       Due to the fact that it is raised and different textures due to the paper and there are sometimes spots missing due to the collaging, there is no way that my eyes could go there by themselves. 

-       I had a more intricate idea for this portion another part to it but I ran out of time.

Projection project presentation

 I chose to do my projection presentation on Krzysztof Wodiczko. He is a projection artist and his work revolves around activism and advocacy.  Here is the link to his website:  https://www.krzysztofwodiczko.com Here is the information from the project. I also did a small in class activity where my classmates had to do a short worksheet about the artist and do some of their own research.

Photo book work prints

 Here I have my work prints out for the photo book. I printed about 50 colour prints and 50 black and white in the dark room. I have begun to lay them out and figure out what I want my photo book to look like.

Final photo book

The photo book, candidly queer is a journey through the lives of queer people in southern Alberta. This book shows the different faces of queer individuals. Almost every page in the book is a different format, this is to highlight the differences within the queer community and highlight the nuances of being a queer person and how it strays away from society.  Ellie Saunders (she/they) Candidly queer  A collection of 2SLGBTQ+ portraits Candidly queer is a photo book built to show the diversity of queer faces and the different identities that can be shown within the 2SLGBTQ+ community. The way this photo book is put together is meant to highlight those points exactly. Pages are all different and are that way to show that no two individuals are the same. For this project I have tried my best to capture individuals in the way that they are most comfortable.    I have many people to thank for being part of this project, My friends, partners, family and...
