Emily Hyde AS Photography
“Weird and Wonderful”
Idea 1 The ;tle of my brief is “weird and wonderful”. I want to focus on two models being myself and a friend. The weird part of the set of photographs would be makeup and the dark clothes on the models. The wonderful part would be the unknown area. The area that my photographs will be taken in would be a forest area, where there is also a strange brick wall that must of been apart of a building before. I want the models to be dressed in black and white only to create a strange gothic look. They won’t look overly gothic as I want to make it look as if they are trying to be something they are not. The makeup will be black and red and I want to focus mostly on the eyes to draw aFen;on to the emo;ons in their eyes. I want the models to also have s;tched affect on their faces just to build the weird part of weird and wonderful. I want to develop my photos mostly on Photoshop but I want to use other techniques such as projec;ons, and Photoshop overlaying.
Betsy Vanlangen For my first brief I will be focusing on Betsy Valangen. She is a photographer who photographs portraits of people, but she explores them in a different way. Vanlangen’s photography consists of portraits of both men and women, covering their faces, in these two photos she uses black felt pen to cover their faces but as you can see it is the models drawing on themselves and each other, I like this technique as it is like they are trying to hid their iden;ty or it is also like they are showing their emo;ons and unspoken words through their skin. In other photos of Vanlangen’s she covered models in a range of different objects like food, paper, gliFer, paint, s;ckers. It also appears that she uses the same 2 models in most of her photography, but she mostly uses the female. The way in which I will recreate Vanlangen’s ideas will be to write and draw paper and overlay it on pictures of me and the other model to create the same kind of effect. What I also want to do is show the models in my photography with strange makeup on as if they have been drawn on, like in theses photos but I won’t be covering the whole face.
Idea 2 For my second set of photos I planned to take a set of photographs with ‘Weird’ clothing on, something that you would not see anyone wear, which links into the fashion brief. I also plan to use one model. I will take these set of photographs in the morning as the lightening out side will be brighter and I want these set photographs to be as bright as possible in natural light. As Iain Crawford is my focus ar;st so I will try to recreate his techniques. But using photographs of space such as different galaxies and milky ways which makes it weird and wonderful together. For my developmental set I will print the pictures and overlay them with bright pastel chalk dus;ngs and shaFered glass. I want the photos to raise ques;ons, such as is it meant to look like a different universe.
Iain Crawford For my second brief I will be look at Iain Crawford a famous fashion photographer. He focuses on beauty and self portraits. Crawford’s photography consists on mostly portraits, but he shows the models covered in something, such as paint, over they are wrapped in materials. All photography of Crawford’s is taken in a studio using ar;ficial light. All photographs show only one model in each photo which is what I will also do. These photographs show the models covered in different brightly covered pastel chalks, which is one technique that I would like to explore, but I will photography the model normally wearing clothing that you wouldn't be normal to wear. I want to collect photographs of galaxies and space as they show a similarity to make-‐up on the model’s face in the photography. I will also create the chalk effect on paper using bright colours and photographing it and then overlaying on the photographs of the models. For this brief i want to focus on these two photographs.
