Joshua Caudell - Weekly Artist Post 16

Eri Morita.com



In This Beautiful Bubble, is a series by San Diego based photographer Eri Morita. In these series, Morita focuses on resident in sunny San Diego. However, the catch to the series is that Morita photographed subjects who have always been from the area and have not explored outside of it, such as action shots and some animals with people. Morita has stated, "I felt amazed and I embraced freedom to decide what to do and where to go on my own. "

In the above photographs, I feel that Morita made these photos by placing her subjects in the area in which they are. The first photo, Morita must have found her subject which appears to be a woman with a dog, and waited to capture the image from a camera set up on a tripod. The second her subject looks like that her subject is trying to photograph her with some type of a digital camera from the early days of digital cameras.  Finally, the Third is more of an action shot.  I also feel that Morita had a high quality ISO (i.e. ISO 100-400 Range), low shutter speed (probably between 1/20-1/60) and a large depth of field (i.e.f/22-f/32 Range) to capture the entire surrounding.

I really like Morit'a photographs. The purpose of the photos to explore the bubble in which we contain ourselves is what truly fascinates me. In the case of these photos, action shots were the focus of the pictures.  Morita has expressed that she has travelled and moved all over the world, while they are individuals who are trapped inside their own bubble and refuse to break out.
