One of the tasks on the design list was to pick a practitioner I admire and a picture of theirs I most relate to and explain why.
Chris Little is an established US-based freelance photographer. I was drawn to this particular image of his for several reasons... To begin with it's beautifully captured, even with all colourful confetti (which may just be splattered paint, but I like to think it's confetti) raining down, your eyes are immediately drawn to the subject in the centre. Despite all the beautiful colours, which one would usually relate to a feeling of joy or elation (perhaps as if a celebration were in progress) the subject appears unmoved by it all, potentially in awe, or perhaps simply lost in the haze. The stillness of her character is surprisingly evocative, enough so to challenge the mood of the entire image. She almost appears detached from reality, which is something I guess I can relate to.
