Mornings

 

The concept of my final project is intended to capture the essence of a rushed morning– the type of morning where you accidentally sleep in late. I love mornings, however, I’ve come to realize that I like sleeping more. The project is to be read as a narrative– waking up, hitting snooze, going back to bed, waking up again, feeling discombobulated, and hurrying into the day with the morning fog lingering. I utilized slow shutter speeds for a few of my images because I liked the effect it gives on certain subjects. For example, the self portrait capturing my awakening, creates a type of double exposure, adding motion to the image. Also, it adds a blurring effect which represents my fogged consciousness in the morning. The slow shutter speed is also used to capture movement when I’m hitting the snooze button and grabbing my keys. This is intended to capture both feelings of fatigue and being in a rush.
