Reflection

For this project I used the reflective surfaces of chrome, glass, and metal to create some interesting effects. To do this I took the photos at varying angles and levels of light. These photographs were taken in my home and at Hoban.

Photographer report

1.Tina Modotti
2.1896-1942
3.A native of Italy, Modotti left for San Francisco where she marriedRoubaix de I'Abrie Richey in 1913. Seven years later she began a film career. It was during this time that she met and befriended photographer Edward Weston. Later, on a trip to Mexico, she became infatuated with the muralists. From there she became involved in politics and joined the Mexican Communist Party. After being falsely accused of murdering her lover, she left for Germany and then to the U.S.S.R. where she gave up photography for politics entirely. Later, in 1939 she returned to Mexico where she died three years later due to a heart attack.
4.Much of Modotti's work focuses in some way on Mexican life and, more prominently, Mexican Politics. Her very character made her an extraordinary women and the subjects of her photographs, an extraordinary photographer.
5.I like how her work is not all centered on people. Many of her photographs are of everyday objects that represent people. Much of her work I like a great deal. The subject matter of these photographs makes them great.

The blur of motion a.k.a. Motion Blur :D

The concept for this project was freezing a trail of light. Shutter speed was increased to 2-8 seconds to capture the trail.
