Working on arrangements for Filipino American Navy project


This summer I’ve been participating in an online critique session with about ten other photographers through Filter Photo, which is an arts organization based in Chicago. I’ve been sharing images from my Filipino/American Navy project. The most recent session involved working on groupings and vignettes of the images as possible wall arrangements for prints.

It’s so instructive (and pleasing) to see the ways that such arrangements can support themes of belonging and rootedness through formal matters like visual proximity, direction, recurring colors and shapes, and the recognition of shared gestures. Here are a few I shared with the group.
