Living Dolls Shoot

Inspired by the book, I set out to turn myself into a living doll, playing out the extreme femininity and hyper-sexuality modern girls are encouraged to embrace.

I started trying to pose like an actual doll, remembering how Barbie would never sit on a chair properly. It didn't matter how you bent her legs, she always looked like she was kinda lying down on an angle rather than sitting. Frustrating!!




I then moved on to typical feminine poses...


Then on to poses inspired by the fashion industry.

Ugly Beauty

Speaks for itself really...

Finally, an image I like...

Here's my first true success during this project. Created accidentally whilst trying to balance a coin over each eye. Turns out my awkwardness in trying to keep the second coin from falling made a cool facial expression.

Money and Portraits

This shoot had to be brief, so I feel as though it's quite unfinished.
Despite this I got some good images...




Looking at this top image, I can see that I've been influenced by Damo's tape project in sculpture, taking one of his ideas and applying it to what I'm doing without realizing. Oops.








I hate the dopey expression in this photo. It ruins it in a way.




The style of processing for all of these images is quite erratic, and I think an improvement would be to group the common images and process them in the same format.
