My Journey during this semester is to create unnatural or eye catching portraits of peoples faces or limbs, or maybe both. i want to learn how to take professional photographs that need little to no editing, or photographs that when edited, come out phenomenal, but i want the edits to look natural and 'meant to be'.

With these long exposures, I don't want to have the transparency like these 4 images, i feel it looks like unnecessary motion that is captured, it looks too ghostly, I don't know how i would fix this issue, but i hope i can adapt

Now with these next 6 images, i want them to be my inspiration for my photographs, i like the merge and mutated look the photographers and artist have done to the subjects, but i feel it looks like it could be better, or that i can try and make their art a reality.

Below, these 2 images are almost what i want to execute as my photographs, but they are too ghostly and transparent for my liking, yet they still look phenomenal, especially the screaming one

The image below is just one of my favourite looking images i have stumbled across, the gold and black really compliment each other and create something so simple, and create something so beautiful

These next images are a little off topic from what i've talked about, but they still interest me in the sense of, its simple and yet elegant, detailed but small, funky yet cool.

This final artist i stumbled across, is what i want to have with the first few images, where it doesn't look ghostly and transparent, but it lacks detail in the subject, yet the fabric like motion is magnificent, and is a definite inspiration for my future photos, although i do hope i can understand how these photos came to be, and create something similar
