My chosen theme for this shoot is self expression; how people express themselves through what they wear and how they communicate (facial expressions and body language).

The purpose of this photo shoot is to explore diversity within the community, how people within the same community differentiate themselves from one another, as well as how they react differently to being placed in the same environment and treat identically.

The shoot will take place in the photography studio where I will take photos of my friends in the exact same way; the camera angle and where they are standing will be identical every time, but it will be up to them how they pose and express themselves in the photos. I will also let them decide what they want to wear for the shoot.

They won’t be doing the same leaning pose as here but the shoot will work in a very similar way. The angle and basic setup will be identical but it’s up to the people being photographed to express themselves. The only difference is that in my shoot I won’t make everyone pose in the same way, that will be up to them.
