Define metaphor
Metaphor is a word or phrase applied to an object where it is not literally applicable
Explain how one of your photos uses objects, colors, arrangement to express meaning.
What narrative, idea or phrase is your photo communicating?
The 3rd photo in my first set of photos is an arrangement of pointe shoes from my previous years of dance. It represents how being a successful dancer requires years of experience and training. Every pair is dirty, which represents the hard work (and sometimes pain) that goes into dance. I put the pointe shoes slightly overlapping and used a hard flash to get a slight reflection of the material. Also, I edited an ivory/warm color over the entire image because although the shoes are dirty and don't look presentable, they are still supposed to be delicate, and it's a light color that you wouldn't normally associate dirt with.
How did you transform a commonplace photo of the object into an exceptional composition that expresses an idea?
This photo was taken in my closet, but it was the best place to hang my shoes from because it looks similar to a ballet barre. By overlapping some of the shoes, it looks more natural and doesn't look like they were positioned a certain way for the photo. The shadow behind the shoes also adds to the photo.
