SELF PORTRAIT MULTIPLES
"A GROUP WORKOUT"
*please disregard the person wearing her mask almost on the neck, not a hygienic choice there -- sorry for that :-)
My idea was to set up a group workout in a public park, where "each person" was inspired to do different kinds of exercise. The team on the left side of the photo seems to be an active team, whereas the ones on the right side would just say "meh, I'm good, thanks", which suits the picturesque river that I wish I could show more of due to sunlight. I tried to diversify the height and direction of the multiples; some standing/sitting/bending over/reaching/upside-down, and some facing left while some to the right, or the back. The trouble I caused myself was that I sketched out the composition at home, and thought I could use the specific space I had in mind to take the photos, but I chickened out because there were sooo many people that I ended up in a different corner of the park. And it was quite weird doing all these with some strangers around :-) Anyways...
Though this is no where near an excellent composition, it was exhilarating to be able to navigate the Photoshop tools that were useful for this project thanks to Professor Faur's tutorials.
Critiques received: more depth (e.g. on the bridge, over the lake since the shirt color can potentially pop from afar), camera angle should be higher looking down to reduce useless top space, more props such as dumbbells to spice it up.
