A Look into HomeSource: A Photo Essay

Make a slideshow - it's easy!

My primary visual goal for the photo essay was to display the variety and quantity of items that Homesource supplies. I approached this by taking photos of items that were gathered closely together as well as choosing camera angles which accentuated the expanse of the paint cans, sinks or wallpaper. By cropping the photo, I also pushed the items against the frame, thus creating an illusion that the objects continued far past the edge of the photo.

By primarily depending on photos for information and supplementing minimal text, I had to analyze the photos I took and juxtapose images to create the point I wished to get across to the viewer. I also had to edit the interview I had with the staff at LAND and decide what information would most compliment the photos. The interview with the staff taught me a lot about the Homesource program, its history, and its goals. It was difficult to decide what aspect to focus the essay on; the interview’s information had to be split three ways among my group as well. I thought that creating an advertisement of sorts would be both beneficial to Homesource as well as complimentary to the variety of photos that were taken.
