I want to talk to my models and other women about their opinions on perfection and beauty. I want to ask a large variety of question on the topic so I can get an idea of what real people think about the ideals pressured onto them and how the beauty and fashion industries effects this. I want to talk to a variety of people of different ages and backgrounds to get a varied response which represents different people views. I hope to use the information o find to develop my work with a better understanding of the audience and issue I want to comment on. I have though about using the results by incorporating them into the images of my final piece.
- Define the concept of Beauty in your own words
- What is an idealistic view of beauty you feel is promoted my modern media?
- How has the internet and social Media effected how you view yourself in terms of beauty?
- What is perfection to you?
- Is perfection reachable and what does it look like?
- What is your biggest insecurity?
- Who do you think is the is perfect in the way they look? Why?
- Has the way you look ever effected your confidence or stopped you from doing anything?
- Have you ever judged someone on the way they look or dress? Why might it effect your view of them?
- What do you think about having surgery, taking medication or using cosmetics to improve your looks?
- Give an example of something you think is ugly, why?
I want to keep the results very anonymous because people feel a lot more comfortable talking about personal issues when this is the case. This means I am more likely to get honest answers that I can use alongside my work.
So far your research and ideas show great potential.
I like to see more photo-shoots and your responses to perfection / beauty
