This photo is abosolutly figurative, because i not only have a subject in the center , but I also experiment with writing on my photographs , because Duane Michaels truly inspired me to do somthing totally uncalled for in the photo world. The only unfortunate thing is that I printed this image backwards and was unable to fix my mistake in photoshop because then the word would be backwards. which might have been interesting,but not what I was going for. I have to burn in her hand a bit because the sun is behind her and it took away her hand and the top part of the gate but it works because she is lookking at her hand and It made me think she was almost watching herself disapear, hence the "Goobye" I thought it would be interesting to draw the cartoon butterflyies, because she is in nature and it's fairy tale like. I shot from a medium distance away straight on no interesting angle, I also made a mistake of a beginer by putting my subject directly in the middle of the frame, however with the gate and plants heavy to her right it works and I do not find It borning at all. The tone of this picture and I belive in all my images is that of a beautiful or even mystical sadness and even eri. It was a little flat when I first printed it but I used a filter and it turned out alot better but it is still a bit too gray for me. Overall I absolutly love this picture and it is one of my favorites yet.
