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.

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.

Poladroid

For fun I ran the images I took last week of my surroundings through Poladroid, since it's the trendiest program to use these days. I like Tom's idea of of creating one big picture of a life by displaying lots of polaroid shots like this together - except his was about 10x bigger than this.

A bit of fun...

I finally got a chance to play around in the studio and work on my mini-project of photoshopping images of myself. Here's one of the results.


Aside from that, the last 4-5 hours of my life have been dedicated to creating a new MySpace design for Soulseller, which you can see HERE

Shoot

This afternoon I picked up my camera and started pointing it at anything and everything.
I thought of the subject and decided to create a photographic depiction of myself by documenting me and my surroundings at that point in time.

My first instinct was to point my camera at the nearest shiny object, which happened to be my glass of scotch sitting in the evening sun. I toyed with the angles and lines created by the shadows to try and incorporate the surroundings as much as the subject.


When I got bored of this (or just a little thirsty), I moved on to the general house and garden, finding everyday sights that I take for granted.Finally I turned my camera upon myself
