LandscapeBy Max Baker

My Project: Bodyscapes

The theme I have been given is 'Landscapes' within this theme I will explore bodyscapes as a landscape, I have chosen bodies as I feel that they are an interesting and different way of creating a landscape of a person instead of a place. With a bodyscape you can explore the shape and form of the body in comparison to a landscape while still investigating the personality of the person you are photographing. I will be taking photographs of peoples backs, legs and arms in order to explore the body as a landscape form, I will then take photographs of landscapes that are important to the models life in the style of Eggleston and will use layering and photoshop to show the relationship between the two. Having backgrounds which are relevant to the models will make my photographs a lot more interesting as the photographs will tell two stories with one about the model themselves.

Photographs Progress

I am going to start off by exploring portraits and landscapes which I will then develop into bodyscapes. I AM THEN GOING TO TAKE THE BODYSCAPE IMAGE AND PUT IT INTO A PHYSICAL LANDSCAPE

INSTEAD OF DRAWING A SKYELINE I WILL PUT A BACKGROUND OF A SKYLINE ON MY IMAGES

I WILL BE PUTTING FIGURES ON MY MODEL
