Third photoshoot

For my third photo shoot I am going to build on from the research that I have done about Walker Evens and staged documentary photography by  creating  and experimenting with my own portraits. To do this i’m going to explore the difference between a ‘raw’ portrait that look more credible  like those of Walker Evens and a portrait which is more beauty based and that is more glamours. This links in with the exam theme of truth and the idea of portraying people in the closest likeness that you can.  I am going to incorporate this into my work by using my dad as one of the subjects for the more credible portraits. I then want to include these photographs as part of my final outcomes.  I am also going to continue photographing my dad on a daily basis to build up an archive of photographs which represent the idea of the ‘ the truth behind closed doors’ and the idea of traditional role reversal as a continuation of my book Domestic.
