Chosen Theme – Lack Of Identity

My chosen theme for this project is identity/lack of identity so that I can show both topics for contrast and then pick from my photographs to find the most effective photoshoot.. This is primarily due to the wide range of different ways this can be interpreted and shown. I plan to use photoshop to create interested concepts in my photographs and edits. I will be taking inspiration from Johnathan Ducruix in my first photoshoot in which I plan to take ordinary portrait photographs but then I will remove the faces and use shadows to create a sense of lost identity and confusion. In my second photoshoot I plan to utilise paint – I will put paint on the model in the shape of a handprint and then take portrait photographs. After this I will edit the colours in the paint to make them stand out and seem almost surreal.
