For my final project I have decided to do a few things because I really liked the ideas that I came up with.
My first idea is to make a gig photo book. I decided to do it because I really enjoy spending my time at music events and gigs.My boyfriend is a musician so I spend a lot of time around music and I love having my camera with me to capture those moments when people are on stage;enjoying themselves,making music and making other people happy.
I want to put my photos in a book because I want people to see my work and also have the book as a memory,because each photo has a story behind it and I will also look at the book in a few years time and see what I used to do when I was young. Some of the photos that will go in my book,will be black&white because I think that photos that are black&white have a much stronger message within it and it looks much more professional and sophisticated.
My other idea is to do a 'Drag Queen' photo shoot. I have been fascinated by people who do Drag and I think it's very brave of them to do what they do. The reason I want to do this photo shoot is because I think that people who do Drag are treated badly and are disrespected by others and I just wanted to raise an awareness,to say that if a man is comfortable wearing make up and wigs,let him do it and he shouldn't be treated any differently from any other human being.
Another idea of mine is to do a body photo shoot.I wanted to do this because it's something that I haven't done before and I think that it should be an awareness piece because people get bullied a lot these days.They get told that their body is the wrong shape,that their ears are too big or if people have their ears stretched then they get told that they look disgusting and etc. I think we shouldn't judge others by the way they look and I think people will be much happier if the bullying stops.This photo shoot is personal to me because in the past,I have gone through some bullying myself and I used to get told that I'm not like them and I'm different but because of that time, I want to show people that everyone is unique,different and beautiful.I also want to turn the photos in black&white because the photos will have a deeper message to it and also the highlights and shadows will be shown more with photos being black&white.
The last idea that I have is a Disney Princess photo shoot but not the original princesses but them in 2015 and they wouldn't look the same as they did before,their hair will be different,make up will be brighter and they will have more accessories on them than they did before.Annie Leibovitz is my main inspiration for this photo shoot because her Disney photo shoots are very bright and interesting and I think they bring back to live the Disney characters.
For my research,I have looked at several things.For my gig book,I did some research on book covers because I needed to decide how I want my book cover to look and also I looked at different fonts for the cover and the inside of the book.
For my 'Drag Queen' photo shoot,I did some research on where the Drag came from,how it all started and also the reason why people do Drag.I have also done some research on the way they do their make up,hair and what clothes and accessories they wear.I have found this idea on the internet by a photographer called Leland Bobbe,who has done a similar photo shoot to what I'm doing but my photo shoot will have a different message to his work.
For my body photo shoot,I have looked at different images on the internet of body parts and I have printed some of them out so I could try to do something similar to those photos.
For my last idea,for the Disney Princess Photo shoot I have looked at actual Disney Princesses,what they wear,what their hair is like,make up and clothes.I have also looked at what props they have so I could get some similar things for each princess on the day of the photo shoot.
As I am doing a lot of photo shoots for my final project,I will be using my camera,which is a Canon 700D and I will be using different lenses on the camera to take the photos and also some filters for some color correction and experimenting.
For the gig book that I am doing,I have all the photos ready in a folder,all I need to do is send them to an online company so they can put them in a book and print it for me.
The body photo shoot,I am going to edit the photos in Photoshop and make them black&white and on the day of the photo shoot I will be experimenting with lights at different sides of the person and etc.
I have also looked at Drag Queen make up to know what I will be doing for the photo shoot and the most important thing for the Drag make up is to cover up the natural eyebrows and they get drawn on after the whole face is covered in foundation.
