In order to complement the photography you are doing you should look at a photographer whose work explores fantastical themes and makes extensive use of props, make up, costume and location. Annie Leibovitz's Alice in Wonderland or Peter Pan photos are a good example of this or work by Ruven Afanador or Viona Ielegems. Give some brief biographical background, collect a range of good images then analyse the formal qualities of a couple of shoots. Please produce
- 2 pages with imagery, background and some of your own analysis of a couple of specific shots, consider what practical steps went into creating the image we see. So discuss location, models, postures, costume, props, make up, composition, lighting, camera angle, post-production.
Glossery of terms to discuss when you are talking about this :
Photography and Film– Storyboarding, narrative, aesthetics, time
and motion, sound, sequential imaging, photomontage, composition, formal
elements, mindmapping, lateral thinking, use of primary
and secondary sources, effectiveness of communication, product, target audience, styling, costume, props, hair and make up, colour, models, intention, model gaze, symmetry, framing, movement, atmosphere, viewer's gaze etc etc
