Today, I tried to photograph each of my 3 ideas using a digital camera.
Before hand I did some in depth picture research to gather inspiration on how my ideas have already been photographed. I strongly wanted to photograph my ideas in non-obvious ways, but instead ways which make people think and figure out how it represents control.
To add to the research for my idea of 'Child-hood Fears', I went around the class asking everyone what they feared when they were younger and how they overcame it. The obvious ones were the dark and monsters, but from this I retrieved that most people were scared of things they could see.
I took test shots of blurred objects and things which looked like other things, to represent the fear of the unknown.
I photographed a few of the 7 deadly sins for my 'Sin' idea, this included lust, wrath and sloth.
I found a picture of someone squeezing the grapes of wrath and I did my own version of this. I then experimented of photoshop by adjusting the opacity of overlapping the sins with each other. Some of them worked very well but some didn't.
Next week I wish to repeat these test shots and maybe shoot some onto film.
