My Bedroom by Macy McCasland

After attempting to do my neighborhood project idea, some complications arose and I decided I would be better off photographing my bedroom. My concept for this is to show the progression of light in my room from morning to night. Starting on the left, early in the morning, and ending on the right, with late at night. I did this because my bedroom is where I spend of lot of my time doing homework and making my art, so it has been somewhat of a safe-haven for me. I experience it at all these different times of day. The color of light in my room is different throughout the day and it creates a different feeling in my room. I also chose to add the doorway into my room on the far left to make it feel as if you are about to walk into my room. I added a small peek of my bathroom on the right to add a little more depth of experience of my room.

To make this piece, I took 2 or three top to bottom photos of my room at different points in the day, starting with the dark early morning hours. Then I adjusted the lighting and contrast in each photo so one could easier understand the time of day in each column of photos. Then I began piecing the photos together, choosing to give the panorama a skewed compositional angle for interest. I added a drop shadow to my doorway and bathroom to pull the photos forward showing that they are different areas.

  1. I think that it is really interesting how you framed the main scene of your room with the door ways on the sides. I did not notice that at first.

  2. I really like all of the dynamic views in this piece and how you didn't just show what you see everyday but different angles and you incorporated yourself.

  3. I think the choppy, obviously pieced together images compliment the almost messy atmosphere of the room. They also make the space look bigger.

  4. I love the different lighting and the different angles of each shot. You pieced the images together very well. I also like how it really shows your room how you see it everyday. Overall it's great.

  5. My favorite part is the divide in the window. You make it evident you have captured both night and day. I also like how you kept the lighting of each photo. I do like how the photos were lined up, but offset a little bit.

  6. I really like this one, although the edge of different parts you collage together is not match perfect but the whole picture looks perfect, I like it.
