Inspiration: Pretty Little Liars
Thursday 22 October 2015
I have been thinking about potential themes for my portraits assignment and although I am throughouly interested in fairytale photography, I'd like to make that the main focus of my final 30 images. For the portraits assignment, however, I'd like to explore the idea of secrets.
Pretty Little Liars is a TV show that tells the story of 5 friends that share secrets and tell a lot of lies. The ringer leader of the group uses their secrets to blackmail them into situations and to exert power over them. One night, she goes missing is eventually found dead.
The opening credits have become an iconic part of the show, depicting a coffin and one of the characters, (Aria), saying "shh", suggesting they had something to do with her death. The theme tune, 'Secrets' by Pieces follows a similar theme.
I want to illustrate the theme song in my portraits. Here are the lyrics
Got a secret
Can you keep it?
Swear this one you'll save
Better lock it in your pocket
Taking this one to the grave
If I show you then I know you won't tell what I said
'Cause two can keep a secret if one of them is dead

I want to use similar techniques to the Taylor Swift video, using mirrors to create mystery and secretiveness. I also like the idea of using reflections/projectors/hiding features behind lace which also links to one of the main characters in the TV show, The Black Widow (shown below).
Chuck Close: The Kate Moss Daguerrotype
Monday 5 October 2015
One of my all time favourite set of daguerreotypes are the infamous photographic portraits of supermodel Kate Moss by Chuck Close. Chuck Close is a world renowned photographer, often associated with is large scale photographs (usually measuring at twice the height of an average man).

Rankin Portraits: Avant Garde Make Up
Friday 2 October 2015
Rankin photographs fashion portraits in such a way that makes it almost ugly. I like the idea of portraying avant garde make up in portraits, and it could be a potential theme for me to explore in my own assignment.
