Final Artwork - Soul

ARTIST STATEMENT

For this assignment, my topic is based on media artist that I choose which is Aizuddin Ismail. His a famous wedding photographer in Malaysia and he also a principal photographer for danialhaikalstudio. The reason why I’m choose him as my media artist that inspired myself is because the way he play around and edit the colours and lights of the photos, the angle of the subject and the way he composed the subject matter for get the great photos. Most of his wedding photos are look like vintage style and I do like it. After consult with the lecturer, I decided to make a simple screen design and i try to make it look like vintage by edited “Nashville” filter using photoshop.

Flowers is the first thing that had came to my mind because I want the subject that represent the meaning of “don’t judge a book by its cover”. People always judge someone by looking  the way he/she dress up, the way he/she treat people, always think negative about first impression of someone or something and other things while in themselves, they’re much better and more pure than their external.  That’s the reason why I put the title as “SOUL”. The quote by Sophia Loren “Beauty is how you feel inside and it reflect in your eyes. It’s not something physical” because I think that quote is quite strong to represent the meaning of “simple but yet still look beautiful” or “don’t judge a book by its cover”. I’m using  Bougainvillea as my subject is to relate the meaning that I want to highlight. It looks cheap and not so beautiful like other flowers but yet it’s still look beautiful with the variety of colours.
