Photo Essay
I took my photos at the Virginia Zoo, the main focus of my photos was nature and more importantly how objects or animals adapt to their surroundings. I chose to take my photos here because their was great natural lighting the day i was there and there was a lot of green so i knew my essay would fit together well. What i was trying to portray was that no matter what obstacles were in the way of the subjects of my photos, they found a way to live with or around them. I believe my photos tell a story because all of the scenery is similar and its almost like you're walking through the zoo with me. I put the photos in this order because it is in the order that i took them in, I also thought it made sense for the entrance of the zoo to be the first photo to set the scene. The strongest photo of the series is the photo of the bird exhibit. I chose to put the bird in the middle of the image with some leaves in the foreground and some leaves in the background. I chose to make the bird the focal point because out stuck out the most.
