********The expressive image as the embodiment of the Arts********
Scope of the shoot:
To create a few images which are extremely expressive, emotional, and powerful. This model’s look once seen must never be forgotten. The model must be able to breathe fire into the character that she is trying to become momentarily. She would need be able to cast a piercing look with the quality of fire-hardened steel. She must portray the look and expression of the woman who has seen it all and survived, and be able to represent primeval woman. She should be able to project the look of steel, and a heart of fire.
Culture:
It would be desirable if the photo-shoot used some expression of culture, literature, or history in a thematic sense as well as clothing and props, and thus the model would be playing a part like an actor, expressing delicate nuances of emotions and expression (consciously or sub-consciously) to complement and supplement the theme and that particular scene. A suggestion is the enactment of a poem, song, or piece of literature, or history.
Implications on Art:
This work of art would be challenging the established norms, clichés, and ideals of beauty and expression in the fashion world, and redefining what is art, what is beautiful, and what is fashionable and glamorous. My intent is that each photograph must be an epic, speaking, not just thousands of words, but volumes. The model must be as bold and imaginative as the photographer who is going to render these images.
Usage:
This will be a totality of personal expression for both the photographer and the model, and as such it is a personal work and a form of personal expression, as well a a personal signature statement. The audience should be so moved as to say: “Now that’s what we call Art!”
Imagination:
The fire of imagination plays a very important role in a work such as this, for both the model, who in essence will be living the role that she is assuming, and becoming, and the photographer who will be challenged in trying to express, render, and immortalize this epic in 1/125th of a second, just a fleeting instant.
Let me know if this strikes your fancy, imagination, ability to express, and re-enact a scene out of history, literature, or the arts.
Wouldn’t you agree that the challenge here is precisely what makes this quest worthwhile?
The journey of a thousand Li, to the top of the world, begins with One step - the first step.
Let me know if you are interested in doing this conceptual shoot with me.
