How this is relevant

In the past I have created works using pre-made titles. A pre-made title is a title I create before I go out to shoot. When taking photographs I am searching for the image to fit the title. Working this way brings a new exciting element to the photography table. It also helps me keep a coherent theme throughout a series of photographs.

The first project I instituted the idea of pre-made titles, the titles were based upon thoughts, questions, and sentences floating around i

n my mind through out the course of a day.

The second use of pre-made titles was a work where the titles were some of my favorite song lyrics. I took images of people singing and paired the images with song lyrics that seemed to match the tone of the image.

For this project (yet to be named) I will use pre-made titles from Google search prompts as described in my prior post.

The images here are examples from my second pre-made titles project. The top right is titled 513 down his arm, deez nutz across his knuckles and Willy Wonka on his calf (2006)
