Initial ideas:
My shoot is based on tearing up images that society creates off how people should look and feel a certain way. My photoshoot was based off Rosanna Jones shoots “Destroy” , “Girls” and “Burn”. All of these projects focus on destroying and manipulating photos. I am going to take photos of my friend in the photography studio with artificial lighting. I will then print out selected images from my 2 shoots and manipulate the images in multiple ways. I am thinking of ripping up some images and sticking tape and objects onto the images to create images similar to the style of Rosanna Jones.
Rosanna Jones
Rosanna Jones is a photographer from London. Rosanna’s work specialises in a blend experimental blend of art and photography and celebrates the possibilities with an image. Her trademark is based on ripping up, painting over and destroying images. Her work is aimed at examining visual identity and notions of embodiment. Rosanna says that her images hold a personal meaning for her and reflects her own personal life. Jones work draws attention to the idea that a persons photo can immortalise them.
