Photo Essay
The subject for my photo essay was my vacation to Freeport, Maine over April vacation. I took my photos all over locations of Freeport and two from Ogunquit Maine. I selected this place because I have been going to Maine for several years and I love the atmosphere that the towns have and a lot memories with my family there. The concept that I was trying to portray in the photo was the adventure of traveling and all the things I've always enjoy seeing over my family's travels to Maine. I feel that visually my photos tell the story through the way that they are arranged because it tells the story of the entire journey. I started with the photo of waking up early in the morning and traveling up the road into Ogunquit and Freeport which is Route 1, which offers a lot of beautiful scenery and also shows the touristy parts of the two areas as well. The way I arranged the photos was from the beginning of the journey and I ended it with a street sign pointing to all the photos which says explore, because I believe that everyone would enjoy Freeport and Ogunquit, Maine. I took a lot of different compositions from horizontal to vertical and my viewpoints were either above below, really up close or farther away. The beginning photo was taken at 7 am and the rest were taken throughout the day but mostly during the afternoon. I unified my series of photos my placing a sepia photo filter over the entire essay because it gives them a feeling of timelessness. My photos will always show how my memories that I've made in Maine will forever be imprinted in my memory.
