This is my mood board for the topic of Tableaux Vivants, as you can see Tableaux has been around for a while, and can be re created in order to remake or refresh a memory from a past time/long time ago.
I like these images because I feel that the atmosphere within is strong but also the colors and contrasts between light and dark really allow you to get a feeling from the photo but makes it seem high quality and draws you in more to have a closer and more in depth look at the photo.
Some words that I associate with Tableaux Vivants are:
Representation, still life, re-create, illustrate.
Some recreations of Tableaux can be a certain lyric to a song, an album cover, a poem, mythology or even a dream.
