My concept was to capture the appearance of shifted gravity. The idea behind shifted gravity was how people view the world differently. This is a concept that is always present when considering photography as an art form. Photographers attempt to capture abstract ideas and feelings and present them in images of the physical world. In this way, photographers are able to share their perspective, although viewers maintain their freedom to interpret images as they choose. Especially as prints, the perspective of an image can be changed easily, for example; simply by changing the orientation.
When shooting these images, i attempted make it appear as though gravity had shifted to the wall by posing people and objects against walls/different orientations. I chose to leave other identifiable objects/setting in normal gravity to create a bit of confusion. We often focus our attention on what is directly affecting us, and neglect to notice other occurrences/people. We also tend to ignore the existence of different perspectives, or presume that we are understanding of all other views. The change in gravitational toward one person/direct object is representing this idea.
When displaying the compositions, i hoped to place them on a wheel that could spin easily and display the different perspectives of each photo to emphasize the concept, however, the final product was not as clean as i had hoped and did not spin freely.
