More Work!












Okay, so I have some new pieces from Thanksgiving break! I'm pretty pumped about them and excited for the way they turned out. Many of them seemed to take forever to get just right. I also chose to photograph my little cousin-which was probably not the smartest of ideas. Little girls can barely ever stay still and I kept having to retouch her face on them haha. But nonetheless, these photo shoots were definitely a success! (yes I was just super corny and rhymed within my sentence)

Momma


For my next photo I decided to go out and invest in some props to really give it character and bring it to life. This photo is of my mom's hand; I really wanted to convey a stereotypical "mom task" in order to show the role this person plays in life. Mom was a really good sport about it even though her hand fell asleep a few times haha...

Identity

During church last Sunday, my sister drew on my fingers and made little finger people. I started to think to myself, how neat would it be to create many finger people that each related to their owners. I started thinking about it more and more and then found that later that night I was just playing around and made a little thumb king with a crown and beard when I got bored. Now, I am looking more into this concept of identity and individuality and really trying to learn more about my friends and family through this project. Here's a picture of my roommates thumb. In a recent school play, she was the villian, Miss Meers. So with her picture I recreated her character on her thumb to reflect her love for theatre and her fun and bubbly personality.

Ideas...

So, as I'm continuing to think about my transformation/expectation series, I have thought about adding a classroom setting where an ordinary man is transformed into a teacher. I am having problems finding a willing subject to pose as this teacher, so right now I only have pictures of the classroom I would like to photograph my series in. I think this series could be really interesting, given the right man to play the part. This series has been a little stressful to capture given the fact that I have a limited amount of time to do this and need to find time where my schedule would work with my subjects' schedules. I also have to ask permission to use some rooms and stages and lights so that has conflicted with my plans as well. But here is what I have so far for the classroom series:

Another round...

Okay so for my next round, I am using my lovely roommate to help me out. Kristal is a theatre major and I thought she would be perfect for this. We were going to shoot the real deal the other day, but she ended up not feeling very well. So instead, we just did some trial shots to see how the environment around her would look. When Kristal is feeling up to par again, she is going to gradually change from a regular girl to a theatrical character. She recently was in our school's play, Thoroughly Modern Millie, and had an amazing role.
