Identity Photography

In this post I will be exploring photography based around the idea of identity loss. I will be looking at the perspectives that we see people in, including the issues that many have to deal with. 
Here are some example of this type of photography:
In response to this I wanted to have a go at trying to create images based around this theme, using images taken by me which I could manipulate into these designs. These were my outcomes:
I explored a variety of techniques such as liquify, layering and separation. This allowed me to have the effects desired as I was able to manipulate the facial features of the subject, which can be related to the theme of missing or lost identity within yourself.

Tableau photography ideas and shoot

For my tableau photography I want to focus upon 7 deadly sins and capturing some, in specific I want to capture  a whole person of the person and in which they can.

I want to show more of a portraiture close up in order to show a close use effect and persona, I do although want to show more of the color of light in order to exaggerate the whole persona and sense top the image itself. 

This image was inspired by envy and show the green  and snake around her neck are all placed there in order to successfully I’ve herself a persona. Furthermore the black water shows a deep tonal range  and mysterious and dark connotations of hurt .

I chose these images because of the vibrancy  in the color which I like and also how this is accomplished but the way in which the color and vibrancy allows a sense of persona.This image is inspired by list but in a more Modern day creative  way, the peacock feather allows a sense of calling or login for someone else.The positioning and composition of her arm also shows her low sense of security without someone with herself.

although in addition I also want to show the way in which the darker image more accurately show the darker side to signings and the whole concept of 7 deadly sins.

tableau artists

Ryan Scudded :Is a tableau photographer who’s works are highly vibrant and creative but not always in the conventional means of color. Chicagoland – growing, climbing, playing 1997 – 2003 – San Francisco – reading, writing, learning 2003 – 2006 – San Diego – shooting, driving, flying 2006 – Now – Los Angeles – making, lotsa, stuff.I chose his images because ei liked the way in which he captured a specific theme and scenario in a way in which is stereotypical and not heard of.

although the following work is not inspired by the theme in which I will develop I do think it is interesting and lots of good techniques that I too could use throughout my own work ethic.

I chose this image because I liked the way in which the photographer captured a persona to the person and a sense of action with the addition of having her self portraiture and furniture that compliment the age and history of herself.It could be perceived as a juxtaposition of adventure for such an older person and how her child like persona has not diminished throughout her aging. The light on this image is quite warm and reserved in order to take away the light that shows connotations to being young and so presents a later presents in her age and also how that compliments the atmosphere  itself.

settings for my shoot:

due to me being inspired but he 7 deadly sins I want to choose settings that work well within these words and have clear connotations to the meaning of themselves.

  • Lust.
  •  Gluttony.
  •  Greed.
  •  Sloth.
  •  Wrath.
  •  Envy.
  •  Pride.

for the following I was mostly inspired by the following three, envy,lust,greed. For the setting of lust I would want to capture a sinister feel to the image,having a sense of fair tail and how people are fuled with want and not love.While also having the connotations of revenge and darker themes theirs should also be themes of stereotypical love and lust such as using sheet and other people within the shoot itself.

for envy I want to show sins of red and fire and a deep hatred of jealously within the photos, this can also be shown with money and riches that perhaps themselves they are missing. for this image it met be effective if there is one entered person surrounded by many other people who possibly envy her, this would begin a movement and a large central impact to the images themselves.snakes can also be an accessory and also perhaps water with the following accessories surrounds themselves.,also possibly eating an apple again showing the fairy tale connotations.

greed is the final word in which I am own to use, this is due to the impact that I can use many old and silver enrichment and a crown and possess an over exaggerated feel to the image itself. I also want an interesting placement and composition for these images,so I would ;possibly use a bath and many colors in order toe exaggerate the bean of persona of luxury and money.

editing techniques for my shoot:

1)enhance the color that has connotations to the word itself, red for lust,green for greed, black and white for lust.

2)Photoshop more accessories or objects that are again related to what I am trying to create in the atmosphere.

This links to lack of identity in the following,The three sins that I am recording relates to how people become these people and how their whole identity  revolves around how others treat them and so how they decided to interact to others,and if they are envious and or anything else.
