Part 2- Linear Photo Narrative









These photos are to represent the idea of love. Many people misinterpret the reason why they seek love. Many people believe love is what will buy them happiness and freedom in life. The first three pictures show how loneliness can overtake a person, even take away the color from their life because they are so depressed that they don't have it. Then the next picture shows the person drinking to try to forget their loneliness. Within the fifth photo, the person turns to the only friend he has, a stuffed animal. Since the toy still does not find the person joy, he turns to looking on the internet for love. All these things make him go crazy so he decides to throw away his heart necklace which essentially reminds him of love, especially the love he does not have. This action allows him to feel free and adds color into his life. The reason the heart is the only thing in color within the first seven photos is because the guy views his life in black and white, depressed and lonely, when the heart literally weighs down his life. As soon as he stops worrying about not finding love, life becomes colorful and lively, as does the picture. I chose to do this story of a liberated person because many worry about love and when you stop worrying about it, it comes to you.
