Set in the Street

In this project, I set up a kitchen table scene in where we pose different themes and emotions to take pictures. This project was inspired by 2 artists named Justin Bettman and Carrie Mae Weems. Justin’s inspiration on this project was his “Set in the Street” where he set up scenes on the street to make it look like they were actually in that scene and for our case, a kitchen table. That brings me to Carrie Mae Weems where she took pictures at her actual kitchen table and with her family. We made a replica of that scene and put it “on the street” (in a hallway). To edit my photos, I used the black and white option and the brightness and contrast option in PhotoShop. If I had a place to tell my family’s story, I would choose our kitchen. The kitchen is where most of us love to be because we cook and bake a lot. The pictures would probably just be us cooking or baking.
