7 Deadly Sins - Generate

Who?
My model is going to be centre of attention. I would like to get a model with long black/dark hair with intense black make-up and also dressed in dark gray and black.

What?
I’m going to then photograph each sin separately with the different animals or objects that suited each sin. In Photoshop I’ll change the colour of the objects depending on what colour goes with what sin. These images I’ll incorporate into the main image.

How?
I want my model to be against a plain wall. I’ll check my exposure because I want to use a long exposure. The reason for the long exposure is that I want my model to move as if she is going insane or mental... Like all the sin’s are eating her up inside. I would like to show the insanity and movement of it.

Where?
I would like to find a dark grimly place with an old cracked plain wall to shoot the main photograph. My other images of the objects I will shoot against a plain colour wall so that I can cut them out and place them in the main image.

When?
This all depends on when we get our assignment to produce our images. But for now I can try to organise a model that will suite my idea and to find all my objects that go with each sin.

7 Deadly Sins - Identify the Task

What is required for CRIT 1 (08/03/2011)?
We are required to show a storyboard on an A1 paper/board. On this board we must show our ideas and inspiration for our final photograph. We can include images prints from our blogs and references to our ideas.

What are your limitations for transport/models/season/location etc?
Finding the perfect location for your idea is going to be a problem. I’m not much of a people’s person so finding a model that is going to suite my idea is going to be hard. Let’s hope one of my friends is going to be up for it.

How can this assignment be achieved within your resources like money/skill/style?
I have an idea but I’m still not sure how I’m going to accomplish it, usually when the time comes it will come to me but this time, don’t think I can do that with this assignment. I want to incorporate the animals with the seven deadly sins and the colours. I would like to give my main image a grudge feeling but I don’t think close-up photography will work with this assignment.

The limitations of equipment?
I think with my equipment I can achieve what I want to achieve. The main thing is to make my idea in my head into reality and that it would look great. I think the only equipment I wish I had was studio lights that would make this assignment easier.

The limitations of an A1?
I don’t think an A1 sheet of paper would be a problem. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to fill the whole A1 with information but I’ll try.
