Blog Post #15

Collage brings together two or more items that were previously separate. The resulting piece usually visually references the fact that they were once separate entities. Imagine an important place in your past. Imagine an important place in your present. Imagine who you were in both of these past and present places. Describe how you might use a slow shutter speed and/or double exposure to capture two moments in one image that tell a new narrative about these important places and how they relate to who you are and were.

I would use a double exposure to make a collage. For the first photo, I would capture my house from my childhood. My family would be there, and we would all look happy and the scene would reflect a warm and welcoming feeling. In the second photo, I would capture my dark, dirty, cold apartment, with me by myself doing homework at the table and looking stressed out. I would combine these two images into a collage to show how my past home compares to my current living conditions.
