MY PROPOSAL - TIME

My proposal is to capture growth over time. Time is taken for granted when growing up so I want to be able to show how time "wears in rather than wears out"

I'm going to show this concept by capturing growth through the ageing of hands.I think that hands show growth well because we use our hands constantly and through time our hands are affected. Hands convey the passage of time,and from that we are able to see growth.

I'm going to do this by taking photos of different aged hands, and create a mosaic or a collage which illustrates a hand developing/ growing from an infant into a mature adult.

Final Images

In this collage format I changed the opacity of each hand as it aged, this was to show the passing of time and I also wanted to be able to show each layer/ hand to again show the passing of time.

In this collage I wanted to show  how over time our hands change . The different skin tones show  and different spots on each hand is to show growth through out the hands.

Seventh Shoot

FAVOURITE

Collage of hands development

Sixth Shoot

This shoot consists of hands within 60 and 70 years of age.

Fifth Shoot

I took photos of four different age groups in this shoot - 20,30.40 and 50 year age groups.

again I wanted to have a plain background to emphasis and focus on the hands that are in the images. the different tones in the different aged hands I think illustrates different paths that we take over time as well as different developments in ageing.
