My second shoot idea would be a close up face shoot focusing on editing and tones:

aim;To be inspired my tonal beauty and a relationship within the vulnerability of facial insecurity and a lack of vision,also an unknowing of reflection and being.

editing techniques:

1)A substance to cover the eyes

2)Dissolving the image itself

3)Bluring the image over the face and also to create a sense of movement.

4)Poke holes within the image to create a source of light and lack of being.

For this piece I was inspired by the abstract and more hardship and lines within the piece itself, it shows a harsh lines and brutal ship in order to symbolize a removal of ability to see who they are and express and talk about who they are and emphasis that lack of identity.there is also a harsh contrast within the beauty and close up of the face and the visor and abstract destruction of the rest of the shoots. there is also a theme of negatives and how the images have and as if they are an outcast.

For this I was inspired by the lack of face and the movement of the nudge altogether,it shows a development of their personality and overall.I also want to show an interposing composition within this work so possibly using hands over the face to show an interesting miss direction of the piece itself. I like the way in which the face is still completely in connect and it is only the neck that is a somewhat diffusion of the body.It is very abstract  but still clear demonstration of lack of identity within a sense of confusion.

The overall composition of this piece is interetsing as it shows a grasp and focus only upon the body.The blur this time is focused more upon the face and a stillness of struggle upon the body itself, I like how the hair blends in within the movement of the face.The hands show an effort to grasp,perhaps in order to indicate a sense of release of wanting to hold onto something,perhaps a past memory or trying to grasp themselves.

I chose this concept due to the way in which light can be used to enhance the people and show an interesting form of almost censorship, the light shows a gapping within the images, the light does not come through their face but only surrounded themselves indicating the main centered interest and also a sense of their spirit and not surrounding on what they look like themselves.

Artist I was influenced by is:Taylor Chan

best edited  images:

For this first image I was inspired by the first image shown above, it shows a removal of every feature that creates an impact of purpose, there is a sense of aggression swell that I wanted to show through the raggedness of the marks within the paper itself.

  Within this image I wanted to show a blur and repletion of the face throughout my images and how their shadows and positions are the same and there is only a  movement within their face, this was inspired by the second images want to further edit this though in such a way that it clearly shows a forward movement and blurring of the face but in a. more dynamic method.

Here I used the image above in order to show a lack of identity  again showing a removal of the eyes but in a way of covering them which is not as quite sinister as the previous. it shows a sense of blinding them of covering them fro the truth in a way. And much like below this is the same effect of raggedly removing of covering up who they are. 

within these two I additionally wanted to show previous editing techniques of cutting out and getting a light from underneath in order to highlight the holes and ragged sensation from within the image.The random marks allow a presentation of harm and unwanted areas that symbolize within the loss of identity itself. It is also enhanced within the slow shutter speed of the piece additionally.

This edit was unsuccessful,I wanted to connote a movement of the face and a sense of blurring but overall it looks more liquefied and not the aspect of  loss and movement that I was trying to portray.

evaluation:Overall this shoot was effective by using the original editing ideas and transferring those onto my own personal work,however i do not feel as though these images are the strongest out of this project even though they do show a sense of loss of identity throughout.

My third and final shoot will be a projection of colors and lights all over the body and face.

aim:To show a conceptual insulation of color and personality and a vulnerability of exposure to express within themselves,also the contradicting blend of themselves hidden within the background of the piece itself.

edits:

1)To show  a vibrancy and blending of colors

2)Transparent sheet with paint to show levels and abstract sense of movement.

3)A blur of movement added.

These two ideas of projection ideas allow a vast amount of abstract color and also patterns to form  a sense of structure,I chose this because of the vibrancy and how it could possibly be used to reflect a persona of personality within the images themselves.This idea could also be furthered to cover and or hide the persona within the light,this can be used to present the destructive idea that they are not seen or perhaps the  environment surrounding them is always moving and creative and they themselves are purely an observer.

This idea is highly surrounding more structure and form,much like my previous artists it suggests rope and being tied and  constricted not knowing of how they are and or made it be,furthermore the structure highlights and enhance certain specific arts of the face itself. These pieces also always have an interesting angle to the piece itself,to further presents and over exaggerate the use of the light,this is interesting because the position being highly centered and not free connotes their body attitude and as low sense of esteem. 

This idea allows writing that symbolizes the persona and what they the,selves inside are feeling,this suggests their suffering and journey as to what they are going throughout,this can also be used to develop more tonal work within the portrait.

An additional artist who uses the projection technique was: by  Lee Kirby. who’s project is called ‘pro-ject’ and is clearly surrounding that of projection onto the body,he was inspired throughout when he grew up to become a passionate painter, with large influences form his mother.he then continued to study fine art in Norwich ,
His way of working has always interested me, creating a painting that resembles a photograph. Richter focuses on photographic techniques when painting, even down to how photographic paper has a sheen to it, which he uses in his work.After finishing a Fine Art degree I started to study photography. Three years ago I had the idea to try and work like my hero Richter but in reverse, this is when Pro-ject was born.

within this image I really love the The composition of all of the images, the colours used, the placement, everything. You get a real sense of movement and emotion when you look at these images even though you do not know exactly what they are trying to represent, through the composition, body language and imagery projected, you get an idea.I was inspired by the way in which he uses light and creating the movements within the piece itself,it shows a hidden figure that is  usual’s moving in a highly creative format perhaps trying to leave the lack of  identity that they are currently within.This is my favorite image due to the blurred movement,and also how the color is so vibrant and how this presents the idea to be freeing but still unable to see a face.The color only attaching to the body and not the background is also interesting because it allows a direct contact and vision of the project purely surrounding the human form and lack of it.

These images are very inspired by cars and a slow shutter speed attracting light shown over the top of the persona to symbolize how they are always ignored and again showing the technique of  blending him into the background of the piece itself.

So overall I want to experiment within the lighting to cover everything and then develop it to form the conceptual concepts of illuminating a persona underneath and such.

best images:

For this section I used an image of a strong vibrant 3d shape in order to successfully show highlight so lines segregating the face into pieces, used to symbolises either e rope of constraint or a sense of dazed confusion and categorising of people.

For these images I used a vibrant sheet of paper in order to show an almost space theme of colour over the face,This reflects a vibrant persona to which they do not share with anyone or how the space is used to denote a vast mass of unused space so showing a lack of knowledge as to what their identity really is.

Here I wanted to show a reflection go insecurity that the person has, covering thecae with negative wording of what she describes herself as, this was ‘you are my own’ and ‘breath’ it reflects an insularity of who they are, but in addition also within the slow shutter speed shows a confusion with only a four on the words and not accurately who she is.

for this area I had a large spiral effect that I thought would be further edited by the idea of a slow shutter speed, it shows a reaching out movement that has a strong colour showing a reflection of struggle and also, faces continually overlapping and moving showing an act of confusion of identity and lack of self worth.

For these images I used a mixture of multiple backgrounds to exaggerate light and colour at the same time,with the first image I wanted to show a sense of frustration and display how she is unhappy and capture many forms of herself to show the side she shows to people and then who she is. the second sheets highlight a warmth and also a clear direct view of the person and almost an evolution of who she is.

I edited this image by furthering the colour and making it more variant and circulated into specific areas.The composition of her grabbing her face also allows her grabbing onto the aspect of space within herself. 

This image I chose because it has an interesting compassion and angle it shows due to the camera being onto that she has less authority and is controlled,the segregating lines also show  a sense of being trapped ad contained into aspects that ‘create’ herself.

I chose this image because you can see an emotion and a struggle within the images, there are multiple attitudes and beings in the image and you can see a focused sense of movement and also colour.

within all the previous three images I edited them by enhancing the contrast and adding more structure to allow more detail within the images. 

lastly I chose this image because I liked how there is a clear focus on the face but then a distorted amount of wording over it again reflecting what she thinks of herself is overly too important, furthermore that is also a clear focus on the words next to the image itself,which cause a change of focusing dynamic composition. 

Overall this shoot was a different way in which to capture loss of identity ink a slightly more colourful and perhaps positive way.Although I do think theses themes are quite far and I do not more applicable photoshoots and colours theatre less related to abstraction.

My first idea for the shoot would be using a mirror:

Aim:to emphasis the conceptual concept of no feeling and belonging,having no self worth and an abandonment of skin and bodies reflected. A misjudgment of self image and crack within how they see their own idealistic beauty.

within these images you can see the development of the idea to show a broken aspect of themselves and how they are showing themselves but only in small fragments as they do not have a whole identity. The hands further the interesting  composition and enhance the atmosphere as a whole to make it highly effective and creates an almost lack of body and perhaps being to the body themselves. 

The broken glass idea is very interposing as it shows a repetition of the face and the broken glass creates an interesting pattern of the piece itself.the break also successfully symbolizes  their attitude towards themselves and perhaps the persona in which they carry.

Lastly these images are more to create an interesting illusion to the segment,it shows a lack of body and a sense of perfection to them looking into their identity as a whole.

I was inspired by these images  due to their interposing sense of composition  in interesting illusion when it comes from broken class repletion of the face or an absence of the body.The direct eye contact  and use of the hand shows a sense relish and connection between being broken and then a similar reflection of themselves.I wanted to also further look into artists who’s main theme of experimentation is glass.

Guilliaume Amart is a photographer who uses mirrors in landscapes in order to reflect a person or even a different segregated view of the scene itself. mirrored stand in various landscapes, reflecting the opposing environment back within the image to create a double interpretation of the surrounding scene.concentrate on the double interpretation of the landscape.He has the aim to produce a dream like atmosphere,and enjoys to suggest floating figures within his work. Within the mirror he is known to photograph himself in black so it is purely figurative but connotes a man lost within himself but still the center of the artwork. He is quite mathematical within his work and uses industrial aspects intertwined with more natural areas. The work is highly interesting and intricate and i would would to produce many of his works that contain people within the atmosphere as it demonstrates a sense of suspension and actuation within the illusion of actually being in the forwarded presented scenario.

This image is my favorite image from my artist,this is due to the interesting composition to the piece itself,It allows a completely hidden shadowed figure as a face reflected within the glass but then also behind the glass is a figure to add an illusion of someone standing in front and not as an illusion itself. I like the juxtaposing textures of the natural and then quite industrial dark tonal man. The mirror itself blends into the scenario and presents almost a frame of direct attention to the image.

My ideas are very reliant and abstract from the techniques,artists and editing techniques said above,I want a large create diversity to show an experimentation within the techniques and then the outcomes as a whole.

Finally overall throughout my shoot I want to be able to show a clear coherent blend of all these ideas that still successfully present a lack of identity.

possible editing techniques;

1)Make a print and scratch away the face

2)Within the mirror add someone else face or a black hole

3)Pulling apart  their body and a rip

4)Use a crack mirror ad repetition of the face

photos

:This is my best image due to the interesting and dynamic composition to the piece itself, it allows many reflections upon the face and duplication within the mirror that also have a sense of expression of emotion within the face.the lighting does not allow any unnecessary shadows and also allows for high intense light upon the face and the harsh diffusion of darker tones surrounding the image.The scattered mirrors and facial expression allow a sense of self confusion and defeat within the piece itself, so successfully showing many sides to himself and many ideas of identity that he is unsure about. The rigid reflection also allows a harsh highlight on themselves and purposing who their and what they can be.

This next image was inspired whiten just a hand and a face seen within the reflection , thought this was quite an impact stance so I wanted to further this idea and use red light to create a more intense and successful image to the piece itself.The deep negative tones allow a highlight on his face and ht illusion that it is only himself seen within he reflection of the glass. It also has strong connotations to that of a negative studio and a sense of history and time to the piece itself.

Within these two images I wanted a different version of looking at yourself and a different representation and angle.The first image is glass lined up on a floor in order to show the reflection of the face in interesting forms and angles being moved by how the mirror is paced itself, the section image I wanted to show a sense of  struggle whiten the image and how they too blend in within the background and can be reflected as unseen.

Lastly here I wanted to portray more interesting illusions whiten the face itself and how angling the mirror can cause a different view all dependent on the angle room which you look.I wanted multiple faces and representation of the person and how two sides to a person can all be very different.

These two images I chose because as seen as before there is a direct interest and question within the image of feeling and attitudes reflected within the deeper tones and self repletion of reflection. The first image within gun looking down allows a sense of unwillingness to know or find who they are or wants to be and surrounded by nothing and no-one. The second image I used a prism to show what looks like blur of slow shutter speed but is really used in order to create a duplication of the face within the scenario.

evaluation:Overall with this shoot i think it is a successful modification of my original ideas and allows more illusions and possibly stronger attachments to my other shoots,I allowed for my   colors to not be completely absent and still be shown throughout but also symbolize the loss of identity occurring throughout.there is not too much editing within the images due to me seeing this as unnecessary and the mirrors already positively create the aspects I was originally trying to achieve.
