Project Part 1: Winter’s Prelude – The Transition Before Spring
Project Proposal: Rebirth: The Awakening of Spring
This project documents the seasonal transformation from winter to spring, capturing the rebirth of nature through blooming flowers, budding trees, and returning wildlife. Using photography and natural lighting, the series will highlight the contrast between winter’s stillness and spring’s vibrancy. The technical approach will include close-up shots to highlight fine details of petals, leaves, and dew, as well as wide-angle compositions to showcase the larger transformation of natural landscapes. Capturing early morning light and golden hour tones will enhance the warmth and freshness of the season. The focus will be on local parks and landscapes, emphasizing nature’s resilience and renewal. The final work will be presented as a photo series, visually narrating the beauty of spring’s awakening. This project symbolizes hope, growth, and change, and serves a a reminder of nature’s endless cycle of life and transformation.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004)
His philosophy: “”To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as of a precise organization of forms which gave that event its proper expression.”
