Sequential photography

Life of reading,

In this blog, you will be seeing the process and the final result of my sequential photography.

                                                       Inspiration

I searched for the photographer Duan Michals and looked at his work, in the previous blog I put two pictures that inspired me and gave me ideas for my photograph.

Besides that, I went on Pinterest to look for other sequential photographs to get an idea.

Here is a picture that inspired me:

source: Pinterest

This image inspired me to use a self-portrait, which is while keeping distance the best choice to make.

storyboard

I drew my idea on a storyboard template. When I was sure that this was going to be the one I was going to do, I started to set up a place to take pictures.

  Set up

I put up a sheet to create a blank wall and used a camera holder to hold my phone still while taking pictures, I have also used the wall that I painted, in my photograph.

                                                                Editing

To edit my pictures I used VSCO, this is an app that I have been using for a while so I am familiar with it and that's why I chose to use VSCO.

To put the pictures together I've used BeFunky this was an app the tutor recommended.

                                                         Final result

Title

Why I have chosen the title Life of reading is because I chose to use a book to reflect on how it can change people's lives and make them dream of another imaginary world where they can escape to. So my inspiration came from a book that's why I thought that it was the best to use in the title. 

The story

People often get exhausted and overwhelmed by work, studying, or basically living. People get bored of repeating the same things again and again. Those who get exhausted or bored often try to find a way to escape from the world. This is mostly by reading books because then people can live in the world they imagine and therefore they can escape ordinary life. The photograph shows how people are happy to escape from ordinary life. Without books, life is just empty and boring.
