This was a pretty diffcult challenge this quarter by far. Weddings take months sometime even years to plan out. Recreating a picture for a wedding seemed impossible. I knew this was going to be hard to put together in just one week so I had to think of something quick. Since schedualing a time and place for me to use models would have taken longer than seven days, the first thing that came to mind when I thought wedding was the products that come along with it. My original idea was going to contain what ever wedding rings I could get my hands on, but that didn't turn out so well. At this point I began to realize rings were not an option. I started to think of other things that are involved with weddings. Recently I was asked if I were to have been hired for photographing a wedding, would I have the ability to take the pictures for the greeting cards, and thank you cards as well. After taking this into consideration, I came to a conclusion on what my image was going to consist of. Traditionally wedding parties never send you home empty handed. They give you a little something to remember a special occasion. Things like this seem to have a important emotional value to people. I took a souvenir that I had gotten at a wedding a few years back. I decided to photograph the mementos a bridal party would give their guests. The concept I went with to create this image was to make a smooth gradient to allow room for text to be written through out the thank you card. That way everyone invloved whether present at the wedding or not could have something to hold on to if they desired.
