Philosophy:
Christina loves telling stories, she does this through visual story telling. Her images are meant to be simple, which she tries to relate to for her own life style. Within these simple pictures she tries to pull out emotion. Christina said that one of the quotes she lives by is “Find happiness in the simplest of things.” Christina said that the quote reminds her that something worth gratitude can be puled out of anything.

Her PicturesuntitledCompare and Contrast:
Most everything in the pictures were the same except for the coloring. The main difference between her photo and mine is the background. Her background has a lighter blue and gray color where mine was different shades of dark brown. We both used the same type of flowers, but mine were darker and had more variation. I both of the pictures our blankets and books were the same color as the background just different shades. untitleduntitledIn her pictures she mainly captured the petals of the flower where I captured the stem as well. Her flowers are more similar in color than mine. Her flowers were also on different levels, but in my picture the flowers were dropped lower quite as much. The black background in her picture seemed to be on a harder surface.

My PicturesDailyA Tin and FlowersI like how both of our images had a black background. I think that by having a black background the flowers are more emphasized. She used more dull colors where I used brighter colors. I really liked how all of her flowers somehow bonded together. My picture has a little bit more green than hers.

Influence:
Cristina influenced me to take pictures like hers because the flowers seemed to really show as I was scrolling through the pictures. I like bright and simple pictures just like hers. As I read through her background and what she has done that made me more excited to take photos like hers. She seemed to find joy in taking pictures like these. I found that to, just by setting up the flowers the way you like made me feel calmer.

My Artist Statement:
I really enjoyed this project. I liked that we could pick a photographer that we found interests in. I like that Cristina used simplicity in her pictures, but at the same time i thought they were equally beautiful. I thought that setting the scene was just as enjoyable as taking the picture. I thought that it was interesting that some flowers were more of the vocal-point than others. I loved taking pictures of flowers because no matter what flower you get they are always exquisite and calming.
