For this final project I wanted to show a process,
the process of simply finding the perfect Christmas tree. I planned
out my photo essay in a notebook taking into account depth of field, rule of thirds,
framing, lines, and perspective. I also tried to make the pictures I
took almost look like stilled images from a short film. Whether I
accomplished this or not I wanted to create flow and cohesion with my
essay. On the other hand though, I wanted to play around with irony
for the one of the chainsaw just to add a twist of confusion (for a
second) to the expected moments. In addition to this I wanted to
highlight the task of choosing the right tree out of hundreds of
choices, which is one of the reasons I chose to frame my Dad within
the tree branches in my second image. Even though I told a story
pretty much beginning to end, I wanted to do so in a way that made
people feel the experience or look back on a time when they were
picking out the perfect tree.
