We talked and learned all week about sequential images in photography. Our task was to create our own project which we had already planned during the classes.
Unfortunately, my idea for the project came from the horrors of this world and quite recent events. The war in Ukraine has been one of the most famous topics in recent months. The photos show matches in the color of the Ukrainian flag and the color of the Russian flag, which are on fire. With these photos I wanted to show the great strength of Ukraine and a failing Russia. It's hard to read and see such horrors in the 21st century. I believe that this is a huge problem that should not happen and innocent people should not die. for the defense of their country they pay the highest price - life!

How I did it?
I painted the matchsticks with acrylic paint.
I glued the matchsticks to the black surface, set a black background, I lit the matches, watching them burn, took pictures of the entire process. I used the camera on a Xiaomi 8 pro phone auto settings. On these contact sheets you can see the whole process of my work.
Out of all these photos, I chose 6 that showed my idea the most in this task. In the next post you will be able to see the end result of my work.
