Pumpkin
Artist Statement:
I chose to photograph a pumpkin because I took this picture around Halloween and I felt as though the pumpkin captured the moment. I also liked the bright contrast of the orange and the dark black and white surrounding of the background, and I highlighted this contrast by increasing the brightness of the pumpkin in order to make it seem even brighter. I liked the specific image of the bat on Halloween as it symbolizes Halloween, creatures of the night, and Batman simultaneously. The slab of concrete underneath the pumpkin is very spotty and by increasing the levels of contrast, I was able to make it look more worn down which helps to exemplify the difference between the new, vibrant pumpkin and the ramshackle black and white concrete steps and slabs. Finally, I struggled with finding the right angle to take this picture because both the door and the flowers created a lot of background noise and I didn't like even that much. I ended up choosing the flowers because the white acts as a background but additionally, it adds as another slight contrast to the dark gloominess surrounding it.
