For concept development last week we were to take a photo that underscores a feeling. I took this of two people holding hands and left it abstract so the viewer could easily identify with the scene. I made sure this was done in a dim lit room partially under the table, as to add warmth. I was attempting to provoke friendship and feel that I was quite successful in this regard.
Next we had to take it down to a pure black and white image or graphic reduction without any gray scale and re-crop or reshoot if necessary, to see if it was easier to read as the original intention. I didn't feel that either reshooting or changing the cropping I had originally done was necessary as when I presented the first image to class everyone got it. As for the reduction losing its color and retaining the value, I do feel it has lost a little of the warmth, but the over all feeling prevails. It reminds me of an 80's single cover, and if I were to do a duet with the other model this might be a good choice for a graphic cover.
