The Virtuoso: Through this I would like to capture another friend of mine, whom has talents in basically every field imaginable, he is a gamer, an actor, a musician, a singer, a song-writer, an editor and not bad with his studies either. With this project I would want to show him and the balancing act that is his life, shown through him being entirely surrounded by all of the objects he’s found a way in mastering. Each shot would capture a different side of him, his acting side of him would be mixed with his musical side, but mainly take a focus on the acting portion. In another his musical side would take prescience with his acting taking up the back ground. Through another shot I would capture capture his dancing or athletic abilities, and through the last his editing and photography capabilities, all tying together the idea that he is “the whole package”.    

Proposal 1: The Actress: Through this series I want to portray a good friend of mine, who is not only an actress but a devout Mormon as well. A large amount of the time this shapes what roles and what parts she goes for and accepts in terms of her acting career. Through these pictures I wish to portray her not only just showing her side of being an actress, but also her religions ties, and in someway, showing, through the fifth picture both of them in the same respect.

The photos of this book all feature my bicycle, which has thankfully held up for the past several years of college.  They are meant to show the freedom that this device has afforded me, as well as the city that it has helped me explore.  The order of photos has been set up to show a round trip that progresses throughout the day, starting and ending at my home, with photos of the farthest distances being taken closer to noon. and the last few in the evening.  These locations all have some significance to me whether they are some place I see on my way to classes every day, a favorite restaurant or the site of an annual event where attendance has become tradition. 

Numerous groups could be photographed in order to highlight this diversity, so for example the Ramblers (a hiking club), Physiology groups, engineering clubs, chemistry, ski/snowboarding.  All of these could be followed and looked at (with varying degrees of ease).  A few pictures would be taken of the members in activities for each of these groups.  

Art through the body is a book emphasizing the natural beauty of humans. In modern society, things like the media set standards for the everyday female or male, usually all looking alike. My book explores almost every inch of the body and its natural beauty. My female subjects are bare faced and minimally clothed. I chose to zoom into various body parts and contrast the same body parts with others to show individuality. Everyone’s body is unique and I chose to exploit these differences. I chose to present my book in black and white to emphasis contrast of lights and dark's, the shadows as well as different skin types. In the end, I hope to portray that shape, skin color, curve, muscle or bone does not determine the individual.
