Environmental Portraiture

The idea behind my project was to display with life of my friend with each having it's own standing concept.  I presented the project as a past, present, and future with everyday actions that have a deeper meaning of my subjects past, present, and his possible future.  I also used colors to represent certain meaning such as red for the conflict or blue for a sad or neutral feeling.  Each photograph presents a meaning behind what is photographed from the colors to the locations seen.  I wanted to have the viewer look at my subject's life not as if he was posing, but as if you were looking through a window with him not noticing.  Still, even if I wanted to have an updated snapshot feel, I still wanted it to be staged so as to have that deeper concept within my photographs.
