For my own interpretation of Mapplethorpe’s work, I’m going to use a black bed sheet to provide a similar background to the one Mapplethorpe created, hopefully giving the same effect. I could also utilize the school’s studio which has a black, white or green background in, giving me the opportunity to change the colour of the background which would make my work stand out as long as I find the correct colour balance. The school studio also provides a key light, a fill light and back light which will enable me to attain the correct lighting for the photo shoot. The object in question will be a selection of flowers that I either pick, or buy from the local market. I will be sure to select a multitude of colours in order to trial out what colours work the best. In terms of cameras, I will use the 100mm lens that I can borrow from school. The short lens will allow me to get close to the object whilst maintaining the correct proportion of detail.
