Using food as our theme allowed for creative freedom. The subject of food is vast and versatile and provides endless opportunities. In my work this week I wanted to represent the idea of how one topic can be taken into many directions and still tie them in together. From this, an idea was born to show the simple story of food. When creating a story using a medium of photography is interesting as it limits the audience view and yet allows them more room for question and thought. The idea for my story and subject matter came straight from my own familiarity and experiences. The photos capture a memory and a personal relevance that I can connect with. While executing the project, it was my goal to present the feelings that come from the act of baking and enjoying food together. I believe I was able to accomplish my goal and also experiment with various photographic forms such as composed layouts, still life and portraits. I am a glad that the final piece reflects what I aspired to capture, from the textures and variety of the ingredients to a portrait with genuine emotion. It amazes me how strong of a force food can be. It is an idea that connects us all.
