Description: The virus is changing our living space and our city. It seems that the whole city was set in a blue feeling. Everywhere is silent. Resource shortage, quarantine policy, fear of being infected…the city has become a space lack of energy and hope. However, the virus also means a new chance. In this severe crisis, all of us are forced to stop and look back at our life. In this situation, we might find out something we ignored and left behind us.
Your series of photographs convey your narration well with the color tone difference between the warm-toned interior photos and the blue-toned exterior photos. Particularly, your blue-tinted photos convey the sick city perfectly with accurate photographic techniques. To convey the narration better, consider selecting one or two prominent color that runs consistently in your interior photos.
A few of the photographs can be more clearly presented according to the techniques. For example,
Skew – This is a tilted image. Dramatize the skewed angle by positioning your camera lens at an unexpected point/height.
Worm Eye – This photo works better as a skew photo. For a worm eye photo, the position of the camera should be placed as low as a worm looking up. (think the opposite of your bird’s eye view which is well executed)
Overall, the images and your annotations/commentary are clear. The current situation gives us an opportunity to focus on our own internal development and give us time to reflect upon and revisit our past. What new insights have you discovered while being at home all the time?
