Free-Choice-Caraulia

I looked mostly at the artists Andre Kertesz and Ruth Bernhard. Their pictures made the impression of being molded into something you're not by society. That made me think of my own struggle through depression and anxiety because of society and family and friends wanting me to be something that I wasn't and my struggle of trying to be whatever they wanted even though it wasn't me. The transparent plastic and silk cloth that covers Ruth's women and Andre's surrelistic photo of a woman being molded into what looked like a table are the features in specific. My concept is to show through photos with dramatic lighting what it feels like to have depression and anxiety. I will show this through having my best friends(who will know what I'm talking about) model the tension and tears that go along with D&A. After the pictures have been shot, I will use Photoshop to bring out specific details in the photograph such as facial expression and body language. This concept to me is unique because it is based off of my experiences with D&A and how I feel when I have a depression or an anxiety attack. I will also use black and white as well as an antique setting in the spaces of my photos.
