This is a photograph of Tia H., that was shot using the panning technique. Though Tia is the subject of this image, there are a number of objects in this picture, including trees, buildings, windows, bushes. The subject of this artwork; Tia, was shot close up. This work does not follow the rule of thirds. This piece is abstract, rather than figurative.
There is a lot going on in the background of this photo. There are light, dark and mid-tones all around this photo. The shapes of Tia's glasses, her jacket, the trees and the windows make this photo interesting and successful. The round, bent stance of the trees in this piece work to frame the subject; Tia. The shapes in this photograph help to capture Tia's movement, as her glasses and jacket are disfigured, but the windows to the left are still distinct rectangles. The dark tone of the windows draws the viewer's attention to them and allows the viewer to see the movement that was documented. This photo was intentionally not shot in focus, as the aim of this project was to make use of the panning technique.
With this artwork, I was trying to convey a psychedelic mood. The image has both dark and light portions to add to this hallucinatory feel. The photo was taken outdoors, where there were several interesting shapes to capture.
I believe that this is my most successful piece to date, as the mood and feel of this portrait turned out exactly as I had wanted.
