Lens-Artists Challenge #59 – “angles”

Posted on by

At thought at first when I learned about this week’s challenge posted by Leya https://lagottocattleya.wordpress.com/2019/08/17/lens-artists-photo-challenge-59-angles/ – that I need to shot different angles of one subject. However, as I went through all my photos, I came to realize that in order to portray “angle”, I just need to show my perspective – or what I saw or how I saw the world around me through my lens. Here is my take on this week’s challenge:

“Meta” – Looking at things from an outer perspective and there are many perspective within a perspective – for instance, mine as the photographer, the tourists on whatever they are focusing on. In this angle, I can only interpret what the tourist’s perspective might be upon seeing them viewing whatever they saw during at this very moment that I came to froze in this photo. (Photo is taken inside Louvre, Paris, France)

I have two photos with the same subject. This one above is looking at it from far, seems like just observing and not really digging deeper into it. and then…
…this, which I already posted in my IG account and I said there and will say here:
two ways to look at this and maybe also to look at this & reflect about our lives in general: (1) how does it feel to be the center of attraction and yet headless? (2) can you see beauty beyond and despite of the missing parts? #thewingedvictoryofsamothrace #nikeofsamothrace #louvre #canonm100 #artappreciation #contemplation
at this angle, I am toying with the idea that the sculture character in the foreground can be “envious” or “mesmerized” of the other in front of him. What do you think? Is he envious? or mesmerized?

These photos above are taken from different angles but all depicts “showmanship”, “taking the stage and owning it”, “I am the star”, “I am having fun”. And indeed People around her were affected from the fun-ness of her like a positive contagion to the spirit, which is the very essence of the Fasching (Carnival).
