Theme: Fear of being watched in a private space.
With this series, the camera is caught behind doors, screens, mirrors, or fabrics to create a voyeuristic perspective of someone peeking between the cracks. However, the focus will be on a model in private spaces performing everyday tasks. I’d want it so that the rooms used for the shot will visually appear as if the model is the only one present. Isolating them and generating uneasiness within a viewer based on how a place of privacy becomes disrupted. However, I want it so the picture can’t capture the camera. This way, this disturbance is seen more as a feeling or omnipresence rather than as a stand-alone figure.

Proposal 2#
Theme: Unclear self-image or direction in the future.
This shooting requires a mirror to be present. With it, water is poured over the frame to preserve the reflections. However, by quickly tapping the water, I’d control the water ripples to distort the visual reflection of myself captured in the photo. The mirror will stay flat on the ground to ensure the water doesn’t spill. However, by shooting downwards, holding myself up, and then cropping the image so that my lower half won’t show, I can create an illusion where the mirror looks like it's hanging from a wall. This effect can be accomplished from several angles with a tripod as long as it doesn’t showcase my legs. This shoot will take place in a mostly blank, open, minimalistic space for both a sense of aimlessness and so that the mirror/model will be the center of the shot.

Theme: Chronic dependence on technology.
For this small collection, I’m utilizing various flat-screen electronics like TV screens, phones, game consoles, and the like to play a variety of colorful displays, which will be the only light source in the pieces. With them, a human subject is seen, with the silhouette of their figure standing out against the screens in pitch darkness. I hope to convey a distressing scene with a total lack of light and features. The composition will evolve to have one full shot, one upward angle, and one downward angle. That way, the picture revolves around the model while simultaneously repositioning how many screens are present, the light direction, the video display, and so forth. A tripod will be present to accomplish these types of shots.

For Frames, I’d use the shadows of a secondary frame and allow that darkness to help blend each landscape as if they were on the same plot of land, just from different entrances.

For Roadway, I’d either do straight vertical shots or long horizontal angles while capturing different pathways all across Tucson, resulting in one long-fused line of dissimilar areas that make up the city. Including streetways, pathways, dirtways, or open garages, almost unifying said places that have no general relationship whatsoever.

For this upcoming project, I intend to use an urban structure in a landscape to create a sense of interwoven community, no matter how separated each photo is geographically-wise. For Utility Poles I hope to capture various electrical poles from similar distances, horizontally. So that way, the primary wires will line up together and connect.

For this idea, I plan to capture different moments of my life based on the perspective of clothing, the position of my legs and the backgrounds that surround me. In this collection, I want to make an attempt at displaying the bad, the mediocre, and the good by having the viewer discover minute context clues to assume an emotional response to that specific moment in time. By blurring the background, my lower half of my body becomes my main focal point of expression.

For this series, I wanted to create a collage of walkways that can possibly interconnect anywhere if placed together. In every piece, I hope to establish a common pattern of overhead lens flares created by a natural source of light in the sky, and use them to help transition from morning, afternoon or night from different pathways. Presenting an idea of time passing as we walk down the many diverging paths that cross our way.

Intrigued by Todd Hido’s usage of overexposure to create a serene, almost American gothic quality on Mid-Western households; I wanted to play around with the colors of blue and yellow lighting. Emphasizing on the coloring while simultaneously contrasting them with heavy shadowing to deliver an almost otherworldly quality to standard, everyday sceneries that you may otherwise take for granted.
