Pareidolia

Pareidolia is the recognition of a specific pattern in something different. This could relate to seeing a face in inanimate objects or tiles laid randomly and then turn out to be in a pattern. Our brain identifies these pattern because of our memories of shapes, colors, etc. These are the facial expressions I saw.

Relaxed.

Sassy.

Face of realization.

Snooty.

 Confused alien.

 Annoyed.

Happy.

Shocked.

Calm.

Two emotions in one:

Bored or Surprised.

Photo Series Concept

          My Photo Series concept is shadows of patterns on one or more human subjects. The overall idea is to find fabrics with patterns or make patterns and then shine a light on those patterns to show the shadows of the patterns on the human body. My sources of inspiration comes from our Advanced Portrait Study project where we had to experiment with lighting and Anthology of Nude Photography by Dani Olivier. My subjects will be my boyfriend and possibly one or two other participants. The location would be at my boyfriend's house and the equipment would be a camera, a white wall, a tripod, multiple fabrics and a flashlight. The only post processing I would do is possibly crop the images for a more pleasing appearance if needed and all the photos will be in black and white.

Right

          Studies have stated that the left side of the face is most ascetically pleasing location to photograph for portraits. Scientists have discussed how painters, before cameras, would mostly paint the left side. I have noticed this act performed by painters. But if someone got a copy of someone's portrait on their body that would mean the photo was taken on their right side.
          Throughout this project I've taken photos of all angles of my subject and I've concluded that the left side of the face isn't the only ascetically pleasing angle of the human face. Most of my final chosen photos for part one of this project was my subject's right side. Only one of my photos for this project is actually the left side of my subject. The rest is either the right side or the front.
