I will redo my project and update the final one later.
Concept:
About the diptych, my idea is that I want to show that in the process of socializing, everyone is different from what they appear to be. Some people look very lively, but inside they are an introvert. Some people seem to be very enthusiastic, but in fact, she likes to talk badly about others. And for my project this time, I wanted to mainly show those people who are not noticed in society but want to be friends with everyone. I represented different characters with different dolls by shooting Popmart. I wanted to show the doll that has been unnoticed by others by using focus to bokeh her when I took the first photo. The bokeh doll represents the marginalized people in society, while the “key people” in society, who are noticed by everyone, are in the center of the picture.
Process
When I took the first photo, I kept adjusting each doll’s position to give each of them a different character. The two in the middle are the center of everyone’s attention and are good at socializing. On the other hand, some of the people on either side were excluded because they like to talk badly about others, and everyone turned their backs on her. Some stood by the “key people” represent the people who like to follow those who are good at socializing. And the person I wanted to show who had been out of everyone’s attention was hiding behind everyone. I bokeh him by adjusting the focus. As for the light, I kept adjusting the indoor light first, and secondly, I changed the aperture to give the picture a suitable light.
When I did the second one, I adjusted the focus to make the people around him bokeh, and I wanted to show his inner world through here. I first added the photo I took of him alone to the original photo, then distorted the people around him through Photoshop to show that he was in his inner world at this time and that he was only concerned with his own feelings. At the same time, a hand was added behind him to show that he wanted to integrate himself into society and did not want to be a marginal figure. A black border is added around him to show that he wants the viewer to focus on the center of the picture instead of the surroundings.
I don’t think my current work is a good representation of my ideas. I didn’t change the introvert’s appearance through Photoshop to show his desire to get attention from people. So I would like to redesign my project, this time I will redesign my project to really show how he wants to be noticed inside through Photoshop by distorting some of his features.
