Write a detailed description of your “motivations” for your final self-proposed project.
Why are you interested in this subject?
My project is to portrait people as well as there shoes. It is a interesting way to displaying a person's life and his/her personality. Shoes may tell a whole different story about a person from what people usually see on the faces. Also, shoes are important on our life journey, since they take us everywhere we are planning to go. Some of shoes have traveled thousands of hundreds of miles with us at different places in the world. Shoes can tell a lot of stories.
What do you want to convey?
The information I want to convey in my photos is about people and their life. I am always interested in people's personal stories. It is a privilege to hear things happened in another person's life. Since we are all different from each other and we all have different experience in our lives, but when we found similarities in others life, we feel connected to them as well as the rest of the world.
How do you want viewers to respond?
Like I said in the previous section, I would like to let my viewers to see the difference among various groups of people but at the same time they will be able to feel connected to one of them. I hope they see the difference and the similarity and also I hope they will find it interesting to really pay attention to others' shoes, and take them as a part of their personality and personal history/profile.
Why are you inspired to make these images/this project?
The inspiration was from photographer John Huck and his photo series Breakfast. He spent years to record different breakfast from different people in different ethnic groups, different age groups, and different social background groups. So I want to document the similar detail in people's life and reveal the subtle stories about them.
Do you want to evoke emotions in viewers? Shock viewers? Make them laugh? Make them think? Inform them? Reveal something about how you see the world? Reveal something about yourself, a person, a place, a feeling, a memory, a moment in time?
I want to make my viewers smile, and remind them of some subtle/little things in their life but they ignore them.
