Hello everyone!
This is my first photography publication here, I hope you like it.
I took this photograph for a college assignment, where they asked us to photograph opposite pairs and use one of the laws of gestalt mimesis.
The idea that the teacher gave was the mandatory quarantine that we went through in 2019/2020 and how this made us feel.

before reaching the final image I did three tests
Test 1
test 2
test 3
━━━━━━✧Fury✧━━━━━━━━━━━━✧Fury✧━━━━━━━━━━━━✧Fury✧━━━━
Title: Part of the walls
Concept: Trapped
Take data:
Diaphragm: f/4
Speed: 1/40 sec
ISO: 1600
Technical and formal decisions taken for the realization of the image:
Decision 1
Variable used: law of Gestalt Mimesis (indefinite figure-ground)
Reasoning: I decided to use this law, because it does not allow to clearly differentiate the figure from the background, since it generates confusion in the person who observes it and allows me to represent very well the idea that I want to show about feeling trapped becoming one with the walls of the home. To achieve mimesis, use photocopies, which represent different activities that we must carry out even if we are in quarantine. It is for this reason that in this photograph I use this law, thus achieving a perfect representation.

decision 2
Variable used: frame on frame
Foundation: Frame on frame is observed since it uses the bicycle wheel to obtain the diagonal lines and through this the subject is observed semi-lying on the table.
━━━━━━✧Fury✧━━━━━━━━━━━━✧Fury✧━━━━━━━━━━━━✧Fury✧━━━━
Decision 3
Variable used: Presence of diagonal lines.
Rationale: To achieve these lines, use the bike wheel since it has spokes that are diagonal. Diagonal lines represent life and activity because they express unresolved tension.
━━━━━━✧Fury✧━━━━━━━━━━━━✧Fury✧━━━━━━━━━━━━✧Fury✧━━━━
Decision 4
Variable used: shallow depth of field.
Rationale: As you can see in the photograph, I decided to use a shallow depth of field and achieve a bit of blurring in the spokes of the bicycle.

Decision 5
Variable used: little presence of warm light.
Rationale: In the photograph I decided to incorporate the flashlight of the cell phone, this is so because I intend that when they observe the photograph they focus on the body semi lying on the desk that demonstrates the fatigue generated by the confinement. The light used is warm because although it represented the idea of feeling trapped in the home, there is also warmth and security in this confinement.
I hope you like it, see you soon with new photos 😊
