Shelby S - Eyes of the Next Generation


This photo is called Eyes of the Next Generation. It’s a close-up black-and-white portrait of my eye reflecting a protest, representing how I carry the struggles of women before me and remain aware of the fight that still continues. The image symbolizes my responsibility, as part of the next generation, to see injustice clearly and continue using my voice to demand equality and recognition.

This is such a cool photo. I like how creative the whole picture is, even the title! It really makes me think and wonder about the people that have come before us. I like the b&w because it gives it a more tranquil feeling, almost like the eye of a hurricane. I also really like the editing inside the eye. CT HHS

This is a very nice photo. It's really creative and has a great message. I love how detailed it is and the lighting is really good. I think making it black and white was definitely the right choice because it help displays the emotion you are representing. Great Job. - MM(HHS)

I really like the contrast and shading in this photo. It conveys a powerful story through your eyes and reinforces the idea that "it's all in the eyes." Overall, fantastic work! - F.B. (HHS)

I really like this photo, especially the symbolism behind it. The harsh lighting also adds to the meaning in my opinion, because opinions on issues like women's rights are becoming increasingly divided. Adding on to that, Iove how there's an almost equal amount of dark and light space. Nice job!
