The initial starting focus for my project was to look at certain features of the body that make us who we are, such as our eyes and scars, things that make us unique. I used the photographer Lauren Marek as inspiration for the shoot because I liked her detailed images and the way that she presented them. For the first part of my project on body image I wanted to experiment with different aspects and focus points. I wanted to follow different routes to see which one was the best to focus on for the majority of my project. After experimenting with shoots and edits I wanted to start focusing more on my project to come out with a  final theme.

The idea of the body being “inside out”, is what I plan to try and represent within the shoot.  I also want to experiment with different movements and shapes that we can create with the body. This ideas could represent crumbling, or the exhaustion of the human form. Representing hidden emotions in a physical way is the main aspect of my project, and I plan to research more, and experiment more with this theme.

At some point within my project, I also plan to experiment with the idea of neutrality. I plan to do this by simply painting someone white to symbolize the way some people can feel, invisible and worthless. I want to be creative with my shoots and experiment by using paint too see what images I can capture.
