AP: 3.0 ISO: 160 SS: 1/60—The definition of conceptual is relating to or based on mental concepts. However, I do not think that gives enough clarity as to what it means. A conceptual portrait is how one can see themselves and how you represent yourself. When I think about how people see me, I think about books. When I was a little kid, I would choose books over toys. Once I started middle school, I did not talk to any o y classmates because my family and I had just moved from Arizona. While other kids started to get involved in other things, I lost myself in beautiful stories. At first, I read books from school, then my cousin and I found out we both shared a passion for reading. I would visit her when I could, and we would spend hours reading quietly. Once I got a little older, I started to find myself reading romance and mystery books. The more I read, the more I loved it. Reading is something I can do whenever I want to. I think that books represent my personality, as well as how I am viewed. I like to think that reading is a better way to lose myself than to lose myself in other things that will not help me become a better person.
Cindy Sherman’s work is very interesting because of how unique it is. I have been looking at her other pieces and its amazing how she gets so creative with every image. I think that the reason why she became so famous was because of that creativity that came with her photos because I have not seen any other photographer do something like that. Her work can be used as an inspiration for beginners because it shows that you should enjoy taking pictures and being creative. Her work inspired me to want to add something to my pictures in the future because of how creative and unique hers was.
(The cover picture is also another picture that would represent me)
