For my Self Portrait Portrait, I plan to capture an image
that emphasizes my hands. I want to include in the photograph my head, face,
and shoulders, but my hair would conceal parts of my face and leave much in
shadow. I plan to avert my eyes from the camera, and cover my mouth with my
fingers. When I’m imagining this image, I see myself leaning on my elbows on a
surface (a desk or tabletop, or something like that), hunched over it. I also
picture this image being in black and white, but this is not set in stone; I am
open to having a color image for a finished product.
When
considering my Not Self Portrait Portrait, I picture an image of a drawing
tacked to a wall, and beside it an open window. Below the window is an old desk
strewn with objects such as pencils and erasers. Within the drawing are a few
figures, some of which have come to life and are escaping from the paper. There
is a pencil leaning up against the window, and these escaped figures are using
it to climb up and out of the window. I plan to cut out the images of these
figures, so they will still be two dimensional drawings, but it is implied
within the photograph that they are alive. This idea interests me because as I
am traditionally a drawer/painter, I am wondering how drawing and photography can
work together.
