Idea

For my photoshoots I will be taking photos of women’s faces. I will be taking inspiration from Barbara Kruger who took portraits and body shots of women and put bold red slogans on top of them images to show that women’s rights in politics are not respected, and the bold red writing represents the anger and consumerism where it looks like the title of a magazine.

For my final images I want to have women looking casually at the camera with text over the top of some of my pictures to show the two different types of people I’m representing within my book. I want my final outcome to show the struggles and anger of feminism and consumerism and being a women in our modern generation.

Photoshoots

For my first photoshoot I will be taking portraits of women’s faces in the studio with the plain backdrop behind the model so that there are no details in the background of the images. I will be taking pictures with all the lighting techniques that I have learnt like butterfly, Rembrandt, chiaroscuro and just the average portraits with the camera straight in front of the model. I will do photoshoots each with a different girl and then each girl is either a spender (consumerism) or a muse (feminism).

Editing

I will edit my images to be mostly in black and white as I want to make the pictures all the same for each girl. My first images for each girl will be in colour which will be starting picture of each girl. I want to do this because my images will be in black and white but all of the ones I will be writing on will either be in large bordered writing or large black writing. For the bordered writing I will probably be using a red border for the feminism aspect of my project. This is because red is a colour that shows anger, strength and passion, its boldness shows that it wants to be seen and heard by the audience, then contrast the bold red writing with the black and white background shows that its not about the image its about the text on top of it.
