Photoshoot 1 -Studio

For my first photoshoot I am planning on using the studio so I have the clean background and the artificial lighting. I am hoping to do more of an editorial photoshoot of just a close up of my model in order to create more of this empty looking picture to help show and extenuate the emptiness within the model and how she’s losing her identity and personality. This photoshoot I will also be using the Aztec face mask on the model so I can get the cracked I’m able to do this because it starts off as this thick paste which it painted onto the skin and then as it dries it starts to crack so then with any big facial expressions the cracks start becoming more dramatic.

Photoshoot 2- Beach (rocks)

For my 3rd photoshoot I am planning on finding a beach with big rocks similar to these images. I think it would make for some interest photos to try and get the model to climb the rocks. I think I might use this photoshoot as the second set within the book as I feel like the setting/locations feels more free and open compared to the locations for my other photoshoots. In order for this photobook to work and really tell a story i need things like the location to be perfect as im wanting to show her being free at the begging so you are able to see a visible shift not just with the makeup getting more cracked but within the background i want it to become more chaotic as it goes on until she breaks completely.

Photoshoot 3- St Catherine’s Woods

For my third photoshoot I want to go to St Catherine’s wood specifically for the little rivers there and the stepping stones over the water like in the image below. I think this location will be the perfect spot as I think this will be the second set of images in the photobook so I want to be able to show that the model is feeling kind of trapped and surrounded so if I can find the specific location of the first image below that would be perfect as you can see the trees and plants creating this spiral and it would give the illusion of the plants surrounding the model.

Photoshoot 4- Beach (water)

This photoshoot I’m planning on making it be the last in the photobook as this one is symbolising the model as her personality is being washed away. I’m using the idea of objectification and how the more it goes on the more she loses herself so by having her cracked skin be really dramatic and then this location will really help add to the idea of almost being an object.
