C. Things I could do for my phobia project are the fear of spiders or bugs because I could get very in depth gross looking pictures of bugs on someones arm. Another thing I could do is a picture of different food typed which would be easy because I can create depth to make everything look very real so I can make the picture look squeamish to someone who has that fear. I could also do a blurry but at the same time cool picture for someone who is afraid of dizziness or whirlwinds.

1. For the spiders or bugs I could find a bug and set it on a persons hand or just find a bug and take a picture to make the bug look very large and very detailed and clear to show that it could be a fear. I can take the bug and make it expand to look like the background is very small. I think this will show the fear of bugs because that is what they think about and it is the center clear focus. I think this way of capturing the photo would be cool because it shows the fear in a different way some people may not think about.

2. For a picture of heights I could fins an elevator that is clear and shows either outside or some depth and dimension and angle that camera looking down. I am going to angle the camera down because I can make the picture look like the camera or whatever is behind that camera is about to fall. I could also just stand on a very tall latter or go up against a very tall building.


3. For a blurry picture that looks like someone is getting dizzy I could do a picture of the sky. I think this would be cool so that color can come across in these photos. I am going to try my best to make the center clear while everything around the picture or main focus looks like its spinning so it shows the fear of being dizzy or spinning.


D. A couple of photographic techniques I can use to highlight my images of fear are for the dizziness I can use simplicity to make the picture look more clear and get to the point instead of it being a swirl of a bunch of different colors. For heights I could use lines to show like the leading lines down to the bottom or the height difference. And for the bugs I could use depth and dimension. I could also use depth and dimension in the heights fear because I can show the different levels and dimensions of how high the building is and making the picture look 3D. I can use depth and dimension for the bug to show that the bug looks really real and three dimensional.
