motion+thematic

Driving around from place to place, looking at the road speed past me as I continued forward, made me think about how many things people miss in life because they never stop moving. My goal was to capture how society sees the world: constantly in motion due to their hectic lives. I chose to have the images captured around sunset to represent the darkness that will continue to emerge in peoples’ lives if they proceed to let the world pass them by. In editing I chose to have the light behind the clouds show more than the original image to prove that it is still possible to “stop and smell the roses” without actually stopping at all











At the start of this project i wasn't really sure what i wanted my thematic to be. I initially thought i was going to do low depth of field but i'm glad that this is the way i chose to go. I was playing around with my camera one day and i captured the first picture of the car lights almost by accident. But because it came out so good i decided to go in that direction. Overall i am pretty pleased with my thematic and how it turned out. However, i wish that we didn't have a dead line to shoot by so that i could have shot more over a period of time/through the seasons.
