The subject for my photo essay was to find an interesting place and photograph it. The place i chose for this assignment was Newport, Rhode island. I selected this place because i go to Newport a lot in the spring and summer, and its always so colorful and lively during this time of year. This place just makes me feel so calm and carefree it makes me feel at peace. The concept I'm trying to convey through these images is adventure and happiness. The variety of places in Newport and the amount of color, gives a sense of excitement. Yes i do think that my images convey a story because it carries out a sense of movement, when you look at the pictures you are traveling through this section of Newport, these images are capturing the beauty of the place that many people could over look. I arranged these photos in order how i traveled through Newport that day. The beginning of the street begins with the yellow building, but i decided to take the image at that angle because it allows the buildings to move to the left so it flows to the next image. The second building was our next stop because it was on our way to the little park. Next i really liked the tree and the way the little church looked in the park, so i thought it would be cool to use the tree as a layer over the church to make the image more interesting. I then noticed the flowers on the tree were not open yet but the color was beautiful so i took a picture of them. This still flowed with the other image because it was a close up of the tree in the previous image. Then i decided to just photograph the church because it was such a beautiful setting. After we spent some time in the park we started to walk along the little shops, and i really liked the purple flowers, and i thought this would be another good addition because i already photographed the pink flowers so the purple flowers would help keep the overall piece cohesive. Then i took pictures of the shops and then a picture of this huge anchor because i still wanted to capture the nautical theme of Newport. Then i continued to the water to keep the nautical theme in the piece. Overall i wanted this photo essay to capture the different aspects of Newport, and how the simplicity of this area is so beautiful.
