Nostalgia by Yann

Final Image

I chose this photo because I think it is a good photo and it feels nostalgic for me as the fountain used to have goldfish swimming in it when I was young and I used to like going there and seeing the goldfish,  

furthermore, having the seagull sitting in the fountain makes the image feel more playful and less serious which is a good thing because nostalgia is good to reflect on your fond and happy memories. 

The photo is also rather similar to Marietta Varga’s nostalgia photography as the location of the nostalgic photos she did are set outside usually in parks and playgrounds so having this photo being in a park is a great way to respond to her work. 

Lastly after editing the photo I really liked the nostalgic feel to the photo by lowering the vibrancy and colour levels so not only does it look like it’s in the style of Marietta’s photos but it also makes the photo look more faint and less clear which could reflect your past memories from when you were young as your childhood memories are quite old and not fully clear. it also makes the photo look old to help with this idea.
