Absurdist femininity
- when taking photos I’m looking to create an absurd sense of extreme femininity ( inspired roughly by a mix of perfume and makeup advertisement
the photos i want to create are intended to mock the sexualisation of women in these advertisements
- my first idea for this is attempting to capture the spray of a perfume, in order to accomplish this i will use a very close up perspective with a fast shutter speed and a very bright flash
- i am creating this image in order to create an editorial absurdist image usinf it to create a halo of spraying perfume bottles
- to complete this image i needed a focus of the edit, so i created a self portrait style image turning my back to the camera and holding myself around my waste to create a feel of insecurity in the overtly sexual clothes ( a very small top )
- my next idea is about the sensuality of lipstick, so first i aim to focus on getting images of the model applying it with close up shots of her lips
- my next course of action is to create an idea that represents the imagery of smudged lipstick and what that infers so i will create photos of the model intentionally smudging it down her chin- as well and after photos of it being already smudged and her tugging at her lip, this is supposed to create the feeling of small protests.
- I also want to get a few portrait photos with the idea of cutting and sticking them together to create very slightly distorted images in reference to the culture of plastic surgery and with the idea of creating slightly unsettling photos.
