Stereotypes- Cindy Sherman

This photoshoot was taken in the studio. I used the use of the red lighting to contrast with the navy blue dance outfit and I think that worked well. I also used the use of an extra object which was the mirror.

to edit these images, I adjusted the exposure, highlights and shadows. In my opinion, I think that the images being quite dark worked well. I took some photos with the subject posing and some photos where she was not aware she was being photographed and I think this worked well as it shows a more natural side to the photoshoot.

Cindy Sherman- Face distortion

For this photoshoot, I simply needed to take normal portrait photos as the inspiration is only seen once the photos are edited in photoshop. I used some of the photos from the studio lighting photoshoot as well as some new ones. I am planning to make a few attempts of this photoshoot as I will make one person the main subject with the addition of face parts from the other people and then do this a few times and alternate the main subject.

I think these photos will work well as the individuals are posing for the photo and it’s not natural, this means that it will be easier to edit as the main focus is the face and not anything else.

Duane Michaels- Mirror Reflections and body parts

This photoshoot was taken in a natural setting which was my bedroom. This would be seen as a negative as the photos don’t have the addition of the studio lighting and quality.
this is inspired by Duane Michaels as he did a similar shoot with a woman holding a mirror and twisting it to show different parts of her face. In my photoshoot, my mirror is significantly smaller so I decided to make the focus on individual aspects of the face. I took a few of these photos as Duane Michaels can be known for his photography being many photos put next to each other to create film stills.

Duane Michaels- Film Stills (for double exposure)

These photos were also taken away from the studio. They were also inspired by a few photos that Duane Michaels did with a few different people. I am planning to use these photos to edit them on photoshop by using double exposure and layering the photos on top of each other.
