Form Level Photo

“Form Level” is based on the idea of Plato’s “Theory of Forms”. Though we may never know if Plato's Theory is correct, I believe we may be able to experience it in our life. I believe that one can occasionally glimpse perfection, perfect form, whether it be in art, music, or literature. I believe we have the ability to do so. For me, photography can play an integral part in this for in a photo we are able to see the world in a way that it was never intended for us to be able to see it; instead of only being able to focus on one thing at a time, a photo allows us to look at an entire scene, a stolen moment of time, and view it in its entirety, and be able to investigate it. I think this gives us a unique ability to view what otherwise would not be able to be seen. I like to think about photography as a search for Platonic Forms, for the ultimate Form of Beauty, through a lens.
