Develop and plan creative ideas for integrated project

One idea that i came up with is to take photos of peoples eyes. The reason as to why i chose this idea is because everyone has different eyes which is also a way to distinguish a persons identity from other people. If i was to further develop this idea i would need to find a number of models each with different types of eye colours. I will then have the models stand in front of a white background whilst having studio lights on there face to help allow the colour of there eyes to pop. I will then edit the photos to show more details of the eyes to make them more unique to the model based on the details that are seen. Before i’d go ahead with this idea i will need to ensure that my models have completed a release form so i’m able to use the photos of them when i present them in my group crit. I will also need to ensure that i have all the equipment that i’ll need when shooting. This includes my Canon Camera with both my lens as well as a macro lens to ensure i get to see more details of the eye. I will also need to ensure i have studio lights as well as a tripod so i’m able to have a steady shot with the correct lighting.

Another idea that i came up with is to take different types of shots and angles of peoples face to express and show there identity. For this idea to be developed i will need to find some models and take photos of there side profile as well as close up of eyes, mouth and nose. Before i do this idea i would again need to ensure the models have completed a release form so they can appear in my work and to also ensure i have all the correct equipment for when i’m shooting. The equipment i’d require is a Canon camera as well as studio lighting and a tripod to again ensure i have a steady shoot with the correct lighting.

The final idea i came up with is to represent my identity. I would do this by taking photos of myself as well as everyday items that i use that i believe helps identify me such as the clothes i wear for different purposes such as work clothes and my everyday clothes, my phone and things around my bedroom that make me who i am. I would also take photos of my face as well as my hair because they also help identity who i am. Before shooting i will need to make sure that i have all the equipment that i need such as a camera and a tripod. I also need to ensure i have the items i would like to shoot such as items of my clothing and my phone.

The final idea that i chose to further develop is idea number 2. I chose this idea because i believe that it helps to better identify the subjects. I will be doing this idea by taking photos of my friends some in college using the studio to have better access to lighting when shooting. I will also take photos outside of college of a few of my other friends in front of a white background. Whilst doing this idea i will also ensure that i’m keeping both myself and my model safe by being Covid safe by wearing a face covering as well as sanitising my equipment before shooting and making sure im in a sanitary environment
