Project 6: Advanced Color
Your goal for this project is to create a series of 8 cohesive images that use a specific color as their connecting thread. The images must be unified, and they must tell a story.
Through a cohesive series of photographs, convey a sense of importance and narrative using 1-2 specific colors. You will imply meaning and significance onto an object, person, place, or event using the chosen color(s). Your choice of subject matter is open.
Examples:
- M. Night Shyamalan’s films The Village and The Sixth Sense
- William Eggleston
- Robert and Shana Parkeharrison’s series Counterpoint - http://www.parkeharrison.com/bodies-of-work/counterpoint
