Since are review with our tutors I have really been trying to push myself with my work and this has been really hard for me. I have started by taking lots of photos of myself without any makeup on and with my hair not done. I have found this really difficult to do, I have no enjoyed it and the photos I still find rather hard to look at. I have posted them in my studio to try and help me deal with them better by seeing them on a daily basis’s.
I took the photos when I woke up and morning and some later on in the day when I had taken my makeup off. I think the photos of me with no makeup on worked really well. Also I have been editing some of the photos so that it looks like I am looking at myself (like looking in a mirror) one half of my face had makeup and one didn’t as if I am comparing myself. I think these worked well I am thinking of having them printed out large. I also took photos of half of my photos with half of my face with makeup and one half without, these ones didn’t work as well as I wanted but I think you can see a clear contrast between my face with and without the makeup. I took some photos as well with me with all my makeup on, these ones are easier for me to look at and I much prefer them however they don’t really reflect my work as well as they don’t break the barrier down of the meaning behind my work. I really want to push myself to create work that reveal my true self and break down the wall that I put up!
