I recently had a chat to my photography teacher, Nikki Van Buuren. She told me that I needed to develop my idea more, and that my theme might not be clear through my photographs.
So I thought about it and came up with this:
I will have two portraits of each person, a sort of before-and-after kind of thing. The first picture will show white Caucasians as they are, and in the second photo, they will be wearing a traditional arabic headpeice. Each photo will have the label: 'Did it change YOUR perception?'
The work as a whole will be titled perceptions.
It's purpose will be to show how people who dress certain ways attain labels that are often racist and innacurate.
Each pair of portraits will be printed separately.
