I have two new ideas for a photoshoot. I won't tell the full details. They've come to be over the span of two days! It's a liberating feeling! I haven't been inspired in a while. I'm quite enjoying this roller-coaster ride.
So, number one.
Just yesterday, I was at a major Christian multi-artist event, here in Winnipeg. It was a blast! There wasn't anything I loved about it.
Anyway.
I was trugging, pushing, and finding my way through a crowd. Okay, so I did that a few times. But this one specific time. I was going to go meet my friend somewhere.
Here's the setting. The night sky was new and fresh. The sky was smogged with all the city lights, it had a bit of a glow...like most cities do. I was heading out of the heart of the crowd. I was in the area where everyone was jumping like crazy, and it was awesome. All the faces that I was passing, had this blank stare as they were watching the band that was on the concert. They paid no attention to me as I wiggled through them. It was like a little marble just finding her way through speghetti. No one had no personal bubbles anymore, at this point. I was in a rush, so I just kept going and going. I was alone. It felt as through I was the only one heading into the opposite direction.
I suddenly was hit with inspiration. Going against the crowd, with all my own problems. No one paying any attention whatsoever. Am I looking for attention? Am I wanting to be heard?
So, I've done a photoshoot (with myself) for a class assigntment, last year of course.Where I set my camera up in one position. On a tripod, with a timer and lights set. I would put together three pictures. I did three different poses. I was dressed and makeup was different in each. I put them together in one photo, but they were all me. It was an awesome turn-out. Here's what I'm talking about...

So, I had the same idea except different. With a different model of course. I would have multiple shots. The same model, but different poses...eventually enough to create a "crowd" (of herself). All facing the same way. And have one pose where she's facing the other way...with a heavy look of pain, and eagerness to just be noticed. Being rejected. It's a beautiful idea. We, all feel this way at one or two points in our lives. I, of course, way more than once or twice. Just the desire to be heard or seen, but not willing to be spit on at the same time. You know? It's hard to explain...
As far as the second idea. I still need to put it into final set.
So, look out for that...
