1. Man to Machine
It is the theme of a photography competition I am currently working on. While browsing randomly through some photographs on Flickr, I saw this photograph http://www.flickr.com/photos/ndybisz/6560118095/in/faves-abhey_singh/ by Miss Aniela. I decided to modify it to suit the theme of ‘Man to machine’.
The idea was to show how a person is addicted to the computer and internet and he couldn’t get rid of it even he wants to.
I arranged some discarded monitor and rope, but the difficult part was the model. It is extremely hard to find some model for a nude photograph in India, specially when you are not known professionally. I even doubted that the organizers would also put it into vulgar category and discard my entry. Anyways, I finally decided to model myself.
1st photo
Observations:
1. The rope was loose and it din’t give the feel of a person being trying to be free but couldn’t.
2. The posture looked awkward.
3. The background had 2-3 color tones and it was distracting.
4. The semi-nude condition was not supporting the photograph. It should either be completely nude or in general clothing.
I tried again by making some of above changes and also incorporating HDR but still it is not looking good enough.
