Shoot one (project proposal)

Shoot 1

Plan

I plan to do my shoot between 6th-9th of September. the general idea of my project proposal is to shoot portraiture that shows the insecurities of the people being photographed, the idea of this particular shoot is to show fear of growing old/getting wrinkles. my idea is to mix together an older and younger person in slits like this

Photographer research

Kerry Nourice

The photographer I researched was Kerry Nourice who is an A-Level student at Lampton School. The particular series I took inspiration from is her "distortion-glitch art". Nourice took inspiration from Picasso from a previous shoot and used this experience to help her with these shoots.

Best Images

These are my best images, They are of two different models one of which is 19 years old and one who is 53 years old. They are related which means the resemblance is within the photos as well. I chose these particular photos as they are diverse but still work well together. I took similar pictures of both models so I could edit them together and have more a diverse range to choose from.
The first picture is a diagonally facing photo of the younger man, I will use this to make the photos more diverse and eye-catching.
I chose the front facing picture of the younger man as it was a more aesthetically pleasing image than that of the older man.
I chose the photos of them looking opposite directions to edit them together into one image, where I can make it look like their heads are connected at the back.
The last picture is a diagonally facing photo of the older man, I chose this as it was more interactive than just having him looking into the camera, which I thought would make a more "flat", less interesting image.

Edited Images

Editing Process
To edit these images I first layered one photo on top of a different photo.

I then cut away strips of the top image to let the bottom photo be seen.

AO1 - Develop ideas through sustained and focused investigations informed by contextual and other sources, demonstrating analytical and critical understanding. 
These images are from a simple portraiture shoot inspired by Kerry Nourrices 

AO2 - Explore and select appropriate resources, media, materials, techniques, and processes, reviewing and refining ideas as work develops. 

AO3 - Record ideas, observations, and insights relevant to intentions; reflecting critically on work and progress. 

AO4 - Present a personal and meaningful response that realizes intentions and, where appropriate, makes connections between visual and other elements.
