Fiercetography
Project: Branding the Species

I am taking the project into a different direction than what had been previously said. Where before I wanted to match up arresting photographs (such as that of people in disaster situations such as the recent earthquake in central China or 9/11) with quotes from people that I interviewed asking what their most ecstatic moment was, instead now I am doing the opposite actually. I am taking photographs of the most mundane situations and of people at their most commonplace, and overimposing quotes from poets that have been in their most ecstatic.

My image research is below. From my previous idea I "recycled" a book that I had borrowed about Chinese photography, and then the Professor gave me a German photography book. I also did new research of my own and found a fiercetographer who specializes in capturing the mundane. His name is Andrew Z. Glickman.
