So... Apocalyps
This is the stuff I do, when I am not doing work that is required of me...
I personally prefer image 2 but thought it best to put the first one up as well.
Avoiding the thought of elves and pixies, or sex... I thought it best to push into the idea of fantasy as an everyday occurrence.
I procrastinate a lot and the result is stress. When buried in work and due dates - usually of my own doing - I pull one of those scrubs moments where I imagine (or fantasize) the worst possible thing that could happen. The benefit: no work or due dates, the loss: well... I am ultimately dead...
I find it a really interesting idea. I like how your face isn't in the image - it really makes the explosion/idea of the apocalypse the subject.
ReplyDeleteI also prefer the second image. Again, that sort of cross-processed effect adds focus on the apocalypse, and everything else is merely in its shadow.
I would be interested to see what it looks like with a little bit of the information brought back in the bottom-middle part of the explosion. not too much, and not necessarily around it's edges, but just in the middle. It might be a little bit too blown out, but I do like the effect of that sort of blinding light - it creates an explosion in itself from the centre of the image.
Good job!

I definitely agree with Helen. The fact that your face isn't being seen makes the image way more intriguing. I also really like the second picture, it looks more realistic yet fantastical at the same time. Great job i really like where you're going with this :)

I find it quite hard to decide between the two images.
ReplyDeleteThe first image, I find the colour truer to the warmth of the explosion, where as the second image and the cooler tones remind me of a fall out (post explosion). However fire can be independent of the weather, so ... I feel this decision is completely up to you, I like both/either.
The leading lines of the rails that point to the explosion is very good, I also really enjoy the perspective of looking from the balcony out into the city, very creative.
I'm glad you have obscured the face, however I am confused as to why you are looking at us. Should you not be looking at the explosion? What could be more interesting/frightening then the explosion? The body expression/positioning is very nonchalant compared to the action in the background. This is intriguing, at first I wasn't sure I liked it with this subject matter, but now the juxtaposition between the intense environment and the apathetic model is very engaging, as if events like this happen all the time. Now, I hope this was planned, if it wasn't then I suggest you keep things like that in mind.
Well done!
This idea is so creative, I really love it.
ReplyDeleteI choose the first image because I love the colour palette, and I feel like it has this apocalyptic feeling to it more than the other one.

Such an interesting idea and execution, reminds me of a movie poster or something. I can't choose between the 2.... they both work so well together for the theme. It really works well for the image that your face is hidden, great sense of mystery.

Second image for sure, for reasons already explained. I love that idea of you looking into the camera. For me it alludes to the idea that this is all still an imaginary thing in your head. In really outrageous situations I too sometimes find myself hoping the apocalypse happens so I don't have to deal with the situation. With the subject looking directly at the camera it's almost as if they are challenging reality to make good on that desire, to force them to deal with such a 'be careful what you wish you' situation.
ReplyDeleteWow, I really like both images for the reasons Meagan said. I also like how you chose to not show your face. It makes the image a little more relatable for me when I read the description.
ReplyDeleteInteresting take and good job!
