Process: i asked my sister to pose and i took photos, these are the ones I liked, I basically just picked out the photos that looked most pleasing to the eye and there isn't a story.

# data[].attributes.body
Basically the idea of this experiment was to find the beauty of simplicity in everyday objects, annd there isn't a deeper story.

Process was simple, i'd just take photos of objects.

My process was quite simple, i just asked my family member (my sister)  to pose different life scenarios at home wearing a blanket that would cover her face (because she wasn't willing to show it). Then i'd take photos of her and experiment with the poses and composition of shapes and their places. I tried using rule of thirds as well. I figured colours are probably needed, so it would be easier to identify some things.

The story is anonymous life, this is shown by covering face and never showing it.

I intended doing crazy things, that would shock people, although now I think that, putting a blanket on a person is not shocking enough...

Monochrome is most commonly used to dial down all the distractions that the colours cause, making monochrome photography perfect for big details and less good when colour is one of the essential features, so in my own opinion monochrome would work better with for example, architecture photography, but for example, when you are capturing nature, you need colors.

Experiment:

Capture a photo with color, then make it black and white and compare

1) WHAT ATTRACTED ME TO THE GENRE I CHOSE?

I like contemporary art and architecture, so I realized the same will go for photography.

2) WHAT IS CHALLENGING IN THE PROJECT SO FAR? (FOR EXAMPLE: PERSONAL CHALLENGES, MOTIVATION, TECHNOLOGY, FEARS etc)

I think for me the hardest personal challenge was time management, i did not manage my time well and left a lot of thing for the last day.

3) WHAT IS EXCITING IN THE PROJECT (IF ANYTHING)

For me it is exciting to look at interesting pictures, that’s my favourite thing about this project, althoug I am also excited to try taking my own photos.

4) WHAT MEDIA (OTHER THAN PICTURES FROM THE INTERNET) COULD YOU USE TO GET INSPIRED? HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT MUSIC, SCULPTURE, LANDSCAPES, PLACES, LITERATURE, MOVIES?

I’d like to go to the CAC (Contemporary art centre) while I still can.

5) NAME YOUR GENRE & POSSIBLE TECHNIQUES (slide 11). IS THIS GOING TO BE A GOOD MATCH?

Contemporary photography would go well with digital ohotography for sure and since I have a an instant camera i will try that, but I am not sure that will work well.

I think this photo just means that when you are young, you enjoy simple things and later in life with all the stress you just don't anymore.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the photograph was made to show a young persons life.

The vertical frame I think was the right choice, although to me, personally, it is very hard to ignore that mattress is not straight, but all the other stuff happening in the photograph distracts from it.

By the moment author took the photo he was already 40 years old, so for him i think it was fun to creating everythiing, reminding what was it like to be young.

# data[].attributes.body
We are seeing a bunch of young people hanging out, possibly in a college dormitory.

The photo's colour scheme  is nice, it is colourful, but not so that it is just plain disturbing. The main  creative device used in this photo was details, you can really see a lot of details in this photo, like trash on the floor.

This photo makes me think that i really am living a chilled life, an for people who are like 30+, probably are thinking about their younger days and how is that gone now.

We're seeing a woman and  a girl (possibly her daughter) are doing makeup on a table in the same room. I am feeling that the author has been trying to just show one of the many things happening  at the kitchen table, as well as how a girl turns out like her mother.

Since the subject in this photo is herself, there's no connection since it's only one person.

What compositional choices may have been considered.

# data[].attributes.body
Composition balances well, and I think I could not have done anything better.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the photograph was made to say that a girl turns out like her mother, or show how many things happen at the kitchen table.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo makes me feel warmth, because you can see the connection between daughter and mother.

# data[].attributes.body
The photo is very apealing, the composition is well balanced and i think going for black and white was the right choice, because the colours would be too distracting.
The main creative device used in this photograph is lighting that makes the photo very contrasting. And you can see the rule of thirds.

It is hard to define Contemporary photography, since it is more of a concept that changes over time.

In my opinion this is one of the genres that requires minimal connection with people when made, but opposite when received. For example people can spend the most time looking at contemporary photography, because it usually has a hook.

I'd say that contemporary photography is more of an expression tool, which was very new at 1980s because since that time photography was still very new and being experimented.

# data[].attributes.body
Contemporary photography may be cameraless and lensless work, photographs without pictures, made with chemicals on the surface of light sensitive materials, or through water by moonlight or through colored filters.

# data[].attributes.body
Contemporary photography could be  simply described as a photograph from our own time, the thing that differs it from  any photo taken on your smartphone is that usually contemporary photography is something that has not been seen before and with a hook, that makes it stand out.

At any point in time, a photograph is a “contemporary” image. For the photograph to be “contemporary” it does not have to ignore a prior historical context, or that it is influenced by the work of others in the past, or by other current artists. The photographer may even have appropriated or combined previously taken images from any prior point in time giving that image a contemporary re-birth.

Nonetheless, a rule of thumb in the photography community is that any image developed from the 1980s to date can pass for contemporary art.
