Need For Change




The discovery that I have found was a certain photographer off the website flickr. Her work has several different types of mediums, one in which is through polaroids. Right away I connected on a level with this artist, because I don’t take polaroids as a candid opportunity as most people did that were consumers of polaroid products. I take polaroids as an intimate true art. These small photos are more difficult than regular due to the fact that everything is by ranging yourself from a certain distant from the subject. The reason why I view this polaroid as greatest piece of work, is the patience one must have to get this photo in perfect close up detail and a fade out, creating great depth of field in the photo. To see another person do this, makes me believe that I too can create something this perfect.
Another idea that most regular people don’t know about polaroids, is the chemicals can create an image be very saturated, and in fact not match up the true colors to the subject. However, in this polaroid, you can very much tell the tones in the skin are very realistic. The light pink tints in the toes are not too saturated looking overly red. There are also nice details in the blankets, and they are not blown out white which most polaroid cameras tend to do.
Not only are the technical aspects of this photo are great, but the originality of it are also very intriguing. I have never encountered an image like this one, and I can really appreciate the root of an original photo.
