Our photo essay is called “How to go on a First Date.” It is not supposed to be a serious photo
essay, rather it is meant to be a comedy.
Through the pictures, we wanted to show awkwardness, which is
represented in the first half of the pictures.
In some cases, the awkwardness feels tangible, like in step four: make
eye contact.
We decided to do two different pictures for step one and
step four because it shows two different perspectives, allowing for a bit more
interpretation than just showing one. When
we took the pictures for step four, we did not follow the rule of thirds,
because we felt it made the uncomfortable feeling less pronounced. The picture for step three: order dinner,
continuance is used a bit because our eyes want to follow his hand down to the
main subject matter of the photo, the couple on a date.
Overall, I’m happy with how our photo essay came out, the
pictures convey the humor and the awkwardness that we wanted, because those are
the feelings that can be very prominent when going on a first date.
