Project #3 Proposal



My idea for the “Self Portrait Portrait” is to show the exact opposite of what most others see in me, thus showing the side of me that only a rare few have known. I will most likely do this by using various words on paper and possibly objects to show the things that I feel every day (anxiety, fear, etc) while only showing one part of my body (I have not decided what part yet). I will attempt to cover myself in these words or objects
As for the “Not a Self Portrait Portrait” I am thinking of going a more traditional route with clothing and will possibly use my shadow as a guide. It will represent the shallowness and emptiness of an outside appearance. I would like the two images to play off of each other and to generally show that you never know if you actually know a person. I would do this by having each image taken in the same spot and in the same “pose” as well.
This idea is still in the early stages and I am working on perfecting it. Some of the individual aspects might change but I know that I want to deal with outside appearances vs. what’s actually going on inside a person.
