Bad Day

Do you ever have one of those days that you feel like your in a room full of emptiness? That is how I felt this week at times. So I tried to show this though photography this week.

Jack is my roommate and is in one of my classes at the end of the day. On this particular day I had been feeling very tired and alone and so I had Jack sit in a classroom surrounded by a bunch of empty desks.

There are a couple of things that went into the reason that I chose this classroom and the spot I chose. Sense I am trying to tell a story from the light I wanted to make the picture seem confining and hard and lonely all at the same time.

First I started with the lighting. The lighting in the classroom was good for this type of feel because it was florescent. Florescent bulbs tend to throw a greenish light. This kind of light subliminally makes you feel sick when you see it in media.

The last thing I looked for was a place where I would feel like Jack was walled in and had no place to go. I accomplished this by using the blank wall on the left side of the picture.

So in the end I accomplished my goal by portraying what I was feeling that day. Hopefully this next week I will be felling happier so the subject matter will be less gloomy.
