In this project, I decided to use the word "isolated" because of the emotional quality that is carried with it. When used in imagery, I found "isolated" to be very expressive, providing the viewers with a view that seems to be distanced from the rest of the world. The intent was to be able to give the viewers a perspective that made them feel alone and desolate using relatable scenarios, giving them a viewpoint that expressed this adjective.
This image is relatable to the great majority of academics. Those who restrict their social life because they do not have enough time and energy to juggle both a social and academic life proficiently. I decided not to incorporate the rule of thirds too much in this image, but the division of the pages in the book would be able to give it that effect. When taking this photo, I decided to turn on the television in the background to give a perspective of an attempt to compensate for their lack of a social life by diving into the digital world, whether it be games, shows, movies, etc. I decided to use a shallow depth of field to put great emphasis on the book, showing the priorities in this image.
This photo illustrates a peaceful environment in which, a balance of objects is in play. There are two chairs, representing the perspective of two different people as there is a divide in the background. The background splits from a natural perspective on the left, to a geometric perspective, showing a divide of natural and artificial. While the two chairs represent the presence of two people, their perspectives place them in their own separate world, and even as a whole, the image seems to be in a seclude, enclosed environment. I played with the rule of thirds in this image, diving the two chairs on the sides with a shared table between the two. There is a shallow depth of field as their directional perspectives do not offer a wide point of view from each chair.
This image gives the viewr insight into the lifestyle of being an athlete, putting great focus on the basketball as it is a personal favorite of mine. Through the incorporating of the basketball, not only is this photo illustrating the priorities of an athlete, but iit holds great importance to myself. I chose to incorporate the rule of thirds, putting emphasis on the foreground with basketball on the left, while leaving the background rest of image to being somewhat empty, showing the priorities of the athlete. There was a wide depth of field in this image, leaving the viewers with a wide view, however empty with meaningless detail to put emphasis on the basketball.
This photo depicts a pool table, with a solitary stick, allowing the viewer to infer that the player of this game is alone, fofllowing the guidelines set by my adjective "isolated". In the background, the blinds are shut, closing the player off from the outside world, leaving the player by themself. While the rule of thirds is not too present, the cue ball in relation to the rest of them would be divided by such as principle, with the cue stick on the right to balance the rest of the image. There is an extremely shallow depth of field, offering close to no background in relation to the foreground, focusing almost entirely on the pool table and the viewer themselves.
