Proximity
Proximity refers to how close objects are with relativity to some other object. According to Reynolds (2008), proximity in photography shows that "related items should be grouped together so that they can be viewed as a group, rather than as several unrelated elements". To show proximity, I chose several pictures in which I had grouped items or people together. The header photo is a group of children who are clearly grouped together to be viewed as one group. The first showcase photo has two proximity groups: the first is the children who are grouped together, and the second is the buildings made of Legos in the back, which are also grouped together. The second showcase photo is a group of children at the river. The third photo is very special to me because it is a group of three lady slippers, which were my grandfather's favorite flower, and this picture was taken on his property after he passed away. In the last picture, our dog and my son are grouped together, both looking out the window of a car as we go down a dirt driveway.
