Overall, i aim to take around highest 100 images for each location to give me a wide range of photos to select from.

WHERE?

• Cliff paths
• The woods
• Fields
• Rural areas
• Surrounded by trees, flowers and grass
• Studio – close ups
• Bath – b&w

Why these specific places?

I have chosen these mainly ‘rural’ locations as they are surrounded with nature, my aim is to create the idea of being in the ‘middle of nowhere’. In the studio I plan to do close ups… and also ‘milk bath photography’ however still relating it to being surrounded by nature: Milk bath photography is a type of portrait photography that places subjects in a tub full of milky water, often with floating props like flowers, fruit, or greenery.

WHEN?

Whilst its sunny but not midday; more so late afternoon. The photoshoots not involving the environment can be whenever is suitable.

HOW? (EXPLANATION)

Using my artist reference Justine Kurland, I will recreate her images in the book ‘Girl Pictures’ in my previous blog posts it displays examples of her photography, and shows that the locations are mainly: cliff paths, the woods, fields and generally rural areas. By doing more research and also having my own idea of what id like to incorporate into this project of ‘femininity vs masculinity’ I’ve decided to do close up portraits in the studio using smudged makeup or ‘post crying makeup’ to challenge the ideology that when girls cry its seen sometimes as ‘pretty or aesthetic’. Referring to the bath photoshoot id like to create a similar message and meaning to the studio pictures i plan on doing. Having flowers in the milk bath, positioning the model to look as if she’s basically fully submerged in the water giving the message that she feels ‘weighed down’ and has no freedom yet still surrounded with beautiful things such as flowers to represent ‘purity’. I like this idea as the message/meaning can be perceived in several different ways making the image intriguing, giving it a deeper emotional meaning. However, the milk bath and studio shoots are more of an individual idea leaving out the artist reference.
