PROJECT PROPOSAL

FOR THIS PROJECT, I CHOSE THE QUESTION "ALTERED FACES". 

STAGE 1

FOR THIS STAGE, I PLAN TO FOCUS ON STREET PHOTOGRAPHY. INSTEAD OF IT BEING A STUDIO SHOOT, I WILL TAKE PICTURES AROUND MANCHESTER CITY CENTRE AND EDIT THEM IN POST WITH FEATURES THAT WILL ALTER THE SUBJECT'S FACE. THIS COULD INCLUDE BLURRING IT, EDITING ITEMS AND OTHER PEOPLE'S FACES OVER IT, AND REMOVING IT COMPLETELY.

STAGE 2

FOR THIS STAGE, I PLAN TO FOCUS ON PHOTOGRAPHERS WHO USE PHYSICAL MEANS TO ALTER THEIR SUBJECTS, SUCH AS HAVING THEM BEHIND GLASS SCREENS AND USING LONG EXPOSURE. I WILL REPLICATE THESE PHOTOGRAPHERS' STYLES OF TAKING PICTURES BY EDITING MY PORTRAITS IN PHOTOSHOP AFTER HAVING TAKEN THEM. I PLAN TO DISTORT AND BLUR JUST THE FACES. THIS WILL BE A STUDIO SHOOT.

STAGE 3

FOR THIS STAGE, I PLAN TO TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS WHERE THE SUBJECTS PHYSICALLY COVER THEIR FACES WITH OBJECTS. I MAY ALSO EDIT SOME REGULAR PORTRAIT PHOTOS TO INCLUDE ITEMS WHICH OBSCURE THE SUBJECT'S FACE. THIS WILL BE A STUDIO SHOOT.

STAGE 4

FOR THIS STAGE, I PLAN TO USE BOTH PHOTOSHOP AND PHYSICAL COLLAGE TO DEVELOP MY IMAGES. I WILL USE FOUND IMAGERY AS WELL AS MY OWN PHOTOGRAPHY AND COMBINE THEM WITH ASPECTS FROM MAGAZINES. THIS WILL BE A STUDIO SHOOT.

FINAL PIECE/15 HOUR EXAM

IN MY EXAM, I WILL HAVE ALREADY TAKEN THE PICTURES NEEDED TO CREATE MY FINAL PIECE. THIS TIME WILL BE SPENT DEVELOPING THEM TO CREATE IT. 
MY FINAL PIECE WILL MAINLY BE CENTRED AROUND STAGE 4, AND IT WILL BE A COLLAGE MADE FROM A COMBINATION OF MY OWN WORK, FOUND PHOTOGRAPHS, AND CUTOUTS FROM MAGAZINES.
