After researching about the photography book ‘The earth is only a little spec of dust under our feet ‘ It really made me think about some pages of text That I feel would really be fitting within the text. I decided to brainstorm over ideas and came up with the following three.

The first idea I had for the text were short stories, about mythological encounters, this could be in relation to sea-storms, sirens or mermaids. I thought this would be a good way to tie the whole concept of the book together, As I have already discussed this concept previously, so already I know it is fitting within my concept. Furthermore, when looking in the book, it was split into three main images. These being the people in a mystical scenario, this would capture my surreal water imagery, then It would incorporate a more abstract colourful imagery in order to give an ability to see the area that was taken place. The colour and way it is shown must be done in such a way to evoke that mystical surrealism, and be more indicative to everyones own impressions. I decided too that I would display the stories in a mythical way, as though on a script, I though this too would enhance the surreal aspect. I belive with the accompaniment of these short stories there is an ability to form a cohesive narrative, rather than a representation of a topic on its own.

During my research into romanticism, which is the base concept to many of my shoots,I found too that female pictorialism was a pivotal moment throughout my own work too, Because of the continuous portrayal of women and friends within this project. Because of this I decided the possible empowerment and non sexualisation of women could be expressed through stories of experiences women have been through, or poetry of what is it like being a women. This allows the highlight issues which women face everyday  which they have to cop through. The women could could be a stance of sublime beauty and power in order to ignight pivotal change.

Throughout this project I have read multiple books upon the philosophers who focus on themes such as the sublime,, and how they are expressed as pain and pleasure. Because of this I could include texts and quotes which philosophers have created when exploring different themes of exoticism and desire.I would divid this into many different themes of emotion that are all included within the images, and also have great significance to that of the sublime, pleasure, pain, desire, exoticism, love, defiance, power, I could do so with then attaching a quote, this would systematically give the book a narrative order and too let the reader apply each emotion found within the image itself.
