Photography Assignment #4 Kaylyn Thom

Shot Down by Gerard Richter
Stolen Souls by Mark Mcloughlin

For my photos I wanted to recreate the theme of photographers purposely making there subjects blurry because I thought it was an interesting approach to photographing. By making odd/different parts of the subject in focus instead of what most people would expect, makes these photos a little unusual. The blurriness of a photo can also up the intensity of a moment more than it actually was. For example, “Shot Down” by Gerhard Richter could just be a man lying down on the ground but the photo makes it seem more intense and have a deeper meaning. The moments can range from subtle unfocused eye to an intense moment of a man lying on the ground looking distressed.
