Final Panorama

The idea behind my panorama is family history and future generations. Everything about you is determined by your ancestors, the most obvious thing being what you look like. In my panorama, the character is positioned in the middle of the panorama, is covering her face, and there is a large amount of photos framed on the shelf behind her. The character is covering her face to express how the viewer may not be able to see what she looks like, but the viewer can see the appearance of the people who came before her, which determined what the character looks like. I exaggerated the amount of photos on the shelf and the length of the shelf to showcase how big the family is.
At first, I wanted the environment of the panorama to be a hallway with family photos along it, however, my family keeps our family photos on a shelf above our fireplace. I had my mom stand in the middle, in front of the shelf so the family photos were on either side of her. I held my phone at the same height the walked to the right and took three photos. I made sure that the photo frames would overlap, so that when i put the panorama together it would look like there were more family photos.
