Natalia Pereira, Giuseppe Mastromatteo, yuliana mendoza, hannah laycock, teresa freitas
Natalia Pereira is a Barcelona based artist. She is mainly an art director for her own design studio CocoD'mor but has an artistic side mainly for illustrations but also photography.
Hannah Laycock was born in 1982 on the northeast coast of Scotland. She first started photography as a teenager photographing her friends, which was encouraged by multiple teachers and tutors as she grew up. Hannah was drawn towards photography as it had quicker creative results than painting or drawing. She specializes in portrait photography and she is currently inspired by her multiple sclerosis (MS) which she was diagnosed with in 2013. Her subtle, and contemplative work on MS contributes to art and portrait photography. I was mostly inspired by her project "Awakenings" in which she explored feelings of uncertainty, fear, loss, and liberation. I was inspired by this as it relates to my project which is about struggling with identity.
Natalia Pereia
I chose Natalia Pereia as a photographer i research because when I was first thinking about my project I found her project called "Dismorfobina", which then inspired me to do my project about identity using surrealist portraits. Her photos were the first to inspire me on this type of portraiture and has been the gateway to the rest of my work.

For her work "Dismorfobina" Pereira used elastic bands to disfigure the models face for portrait photographs against a black background. I was inspired by Pereira's work to make my model look "grotesque" using different real-world techniques such as tape and makeup. This was my first inspiration for my project which is about identity.
Guiseppe Mastromatteo
Yuliana Mendoza
Yuliana Mendoza is a Peru born photographer who is now based in Italy. She works under the pseudonym "Silence Effects" and there is not much known about her. Her photos are edited digitally and feel calm and silent. I was inspired by her work with flowers mostly, and how it hid the person with something beautiful. This links to my project on identity as it can connotate to covering their face because of attractiveness.

Teresa Freitas
Teresa Freitas is a Portuguese photographer who works near the sea in Lisbon. She works with natural light, cloudier days have more blue/dark colours while sunny days have more pastels. She says her style was shaped by the sea she lives by. Freitas has been inspired by many people, her father, Helena Almeida, René Magritte, René Maltête, Brassaï and Man Ray. Recently she has been doing more surrealistic work such as the photo I am inspired by. She sees surrealism as a form of challenging former perceptions of the reality that the audience expects. I am inspired by this photo as the background and the paint are bright pastel colours but the subject is dark. The model is also in a pose as if they were looking into a mirror fixing their shirt before going out. This leads me to connotations of self-image problems which links to my project about identity.

Editing Process
AO3
The idea of my shoot was to take portrait photos of multiple people, facing different directions. I then wanted to digitally edit these photos similarly to indepenspense by Guiseppe Mistromatteo, as i was heavily inspired by his work. I wanted to edit the faces to look like they're wearing masks and for the photo with the girl's hand over her face, I wanted to edit it with some of her facial features on top of her hand.

Plan
I plan to use makeup and other physical alterations to create a "grotesque" look on my model. I am influenced by Natalia Pereira but I don't want to use elastic bands as it is too cliche and I want my photography to be more unique.Photographer research
