Project One

My concept's origin began while I was outside shooting for this first project.  I knew I wanted it to involve something with architecture.  My eye was drawn to all of the reflections I saw in the windows.  I was intrigued that it was mimicking an image but was not the actual representation of it.  I shot several reflections in Charleston, SC that day.  I chose to work with this image because I believe it was one of the strongest.  I wanted to spotlight the intensity of the light hitting the top of the building.  I enjoyed working with the exterior window's texture.  I wanted a painterly pallet I think that was successful.  I think this image may have lacked to emotive quality but I learned many brand new features of photoshop.  As mentioned in critique the focus should have been tested sharper.
