Winter 2013 inspiration- Shadow photography

 Shadow Photography:

I have no pre- inspiration

Cannot find photographs done already

that mirror the way i have invisioned this project.

i came up with it last night while i was indulging in a candle lit bath.

The idea that shadows have a very erie/senual provoction.

shadows:

• warp
• follow 
• shift
• are long
• light
• short
• wide
• dark

i like the idea that a shadow can identify a person

but at the same time take away a persons identity.

Explore the theme of Identity

Photographs of the body

Photographs of social groups

Photographs challenging taboos

Photographs including sensuality

-gay 

-gay couple

-female

-male

- lesbian

-lesbian couple

-heterosexual couple

Photographs of the breast

Photographs of the male organs

Photograph the differences in figure

VIA its shadows

play with different ways to light an accentuate shadows

-Candle light

-Strobe

-Spotlight

-Hot light

-colored light

-Sunset

presented in black and white

Or saturated environment colors with black shadow

What would the tone of these images be?

-happy and playful

-sad and drone

-scientific

-sensual

maybe do double exposures:

Possible: photograph (a) head shot of  model (b) enviorment (c) shadow of person in enviorment

What surface would these shadows be projected on.
What significance do they have to the image
What action is being preformed
Who is my audience
How does this work communicate to my audience

Where can the work go from here.
Gallery or museum or commercial?
