Project 6 Proposal

First proposal:

My goal is to capture images that represent the life of a dog. To me a dog actually experiences a lot in a day. More than what we think, in fact. I would capture simple images of a dog playing, eating, sleeping, interacting with other dogs/animals, etc. I will accomplish this by contacting friends with dogs to use them as subjects. I will be trying to communicate how simples and beautiful an animal's life really is.

I would shoot dogs both indoors and outdoors, interacting with other animals and everyday activities. Here are some of my test shots:

Second proposal:

My goal for this proposal is to capture images that represent the excitement behind graduating college. Personally with this being my last semester, I have been looking forward to taking my own graduation pictures, as well as others. I know this can be a very exciting time for a lot of people whether they are first generation graduates or not. I think it is interesting to see how people take graduation pictures and what poses/props they choose to use. Some of those can be more sentimental like going to a favorite spot on campus.

I would photograph multiple graduating college students. I will try to portray the excitement of graduating, as well as the eagerness to get into the real world. I personally like to photograph senior pictures on the campus or university they attend. Incorporating memories you have can make the images more interesting. I would choose to take pictures at places that have the universities name on them, their individual college that they attend and pictures with friends. Here are some test shots:
