Image & Text

Image & Text- "I Pray For You" Big & Rich

Artist Statement:

The song “I Pray For You” by Big & Rich was my inspiration. From the song, I took away the images of praying, candles burning, a gravestone, and walking back to someone. The text/lyrics and the imagery had deeper meaning to me, because I wanted it to be about my grandpa and losing him, being okay without him but knowing he is still there for me in a different way, and showing that things go on, but he will not be forgotten. The aim of the Image & Text project was to have a photographic meaning that incorporated text.

Artist Statement:

I wanted to emulate/replicate the film stills from the movie “Get Smart”, the remake. I wanted to show the relationship between the partnerships of the two main characters. I also wanted the backgrounds to not be the first thing that a person sees in the photograph, but at the same time, I wanted to keep the backgrounds interesting with a slight blur and having different backgrounds for each photograph. The aim or goal for this project was to find inspiration from an artist, to find a film, and then portray the characters in it and capturing the moments before the film cameras start to roll.
