Project Proposal

Ideas for photos:

The aim of my photographs is to show that we should not judge by appearances. For this reason I want to take a series of portraits. They will be simple colour photographs with different coloured backgrounds, to signify that together we are unique but equal.

Inspiration:

My inspiration for this series was the work of Roger Ballen. He photographed interesting and unusual faces which I found to be fascinating.

I was also inspired by a previous year 12's series of portraits.

And lastly, after reading Julie Morris' blog I came up with my final idea.

Techniques:

I will be exploring the use of a studio for my project. I will also be using a digital SLR camera. For digital editing I will primarily be using Photoshop programs such as Photoshop, Bridge and CameraRAW. 

List of Equipment: 
- My Camera: Sony Alpha 33
- Tripod
- Coloured Fabric (backdrop)
- Models (16). ages 15-19. Mixed sex and race. 


Layout:
- although i may not have time, this is how i would like to layout my photographs 

The colours I have chosen are: 
- Orange - to represent a multicultural society
- Purple  - the international homosexual colour
- Red - (and green) to balance out the other colours and to look aesthetically pleasing.
- Green
