For my first photoshoot, I am planning on taking inspiration from Robert Mapplethorpe’s project body parts where he did close up photos of the male body and then edited them into black and white.

 

I want to do something similar however I’m going to try and do close ups of both the mascilin body and the feminine body. I want to show the natural differences between the more masculine sharp lines and the feminine soft curves.

For my second photoshoot I am inspired by Duane Michals and his magic mirror project. For these he used a distorted mirror and had the model move it slightly which created these interesting effects he then later edited them and put them in black and white.

I will be doing my work slightly differently to his though because he didn’t use editing for the that distorted effect however I will be. Then like his work i will be editing it into black and white.

This photoshoot is inspired by Cindy Sherman and specifically her “untitled film stills” where she took photos heavily inspired by sterotypical women and their jobs like housewives and then later worked women.

 

My photos are going to be very similar to hers the plan is to do take pictures based on what i think your sterotypical house wife would be doing like washing the dishes etc… Then i think during editing i will edit them in black and white like her work because for this project she doesn’t have any of her work in colour.

For this last photoshoot the idea behind it is to take photos inspired by Lauren Withrow. She takes these beautiful photos of usually women outside and they have such a calming and feminine feel to them.

For my photos i will be going out to a field to get some images like hers with nature and i will also try and find some plants similar to one the one above because i really like the effect of her being surrounded by the plants.
