Melancholy Flow
Concept
In this photo series, I was trying to show the repeated and boring life of everyday that makes life melancholy. All of the 10 photos are the places that I go everyday. And I chose to use slow shutter to show how people move around me to show how things around us is moving and that’s the factor that made life keeps going. The arrangement of sequence is to show the sequence of my travel everyday. From campus to leaving campus. Then taking bus to bus terminal and go to the plaza. Get some groceries from Walmart and grab food from food court then going back home. The outline for the arrangement is also aim to have a fun viewing experience for the collection of photos.
How I made it
I set the shutter to be around 1/5, a rather slow shutter to have the motion blur so as to fit the “Flow” in the name. And the motion blur can create a bit of the lost feeling when living in the dead loop.
