Captivity

Diary of a Pandemic
Deprivation of freedom without bondage.

I choose the theme: Captivity due to the times we face nowadays because of the pandemic, the request was perform a Photographic sequence for Digital Arts classes.

One of my references was the studies of Isabel Behncke, a Chilean scientist, who lived with primates for three years, her studies help to understand the effects that the quarantine imposed by the pandemic have on us, as individuals and as a specie. My sources of inspiration were Duane michals, Diane Arbus and Anna Mikhailovskaia i also reasearched in "The Art Photography" Web site

Our behavior in social confinement does not differ much from other social Animals when placed in captivity, because being in isolation has a profound effect on our physical and mental health, therefore, with my sequence i wanted to hyperbolize and represent the human feeling in full Pandemic situation.

Red: Blood color, remits the war, conflict, struggle

First Experiences 

Search About Diane Arbus

Diane Arbus was a North-American writer and photographer that i based my project search, because she can capture in black and white raw form the life of common people.

Technical Memory

After search and imagine what i wanted to do, i started drawing the Story Board with two separate sequences of three photos. I schematized the spotlight before take the pictures to get more easy.

For the Red photo i used a red lamp that i have in my bedroom and for the next one i used the mobile phone flashlight.

The App i used was LightX to edict and put some filters and Microsoft Word to stitch the photos together.
