Ok so I am still on the fence about what to exactly do for my project. Though i have come up with one idea that I think could be a success. I would like to do portrait shots of peoples reaction when being tasered. My only problem I am having is finding the meaning behind the process of doing portraits like this. Any input would be helpful with new ideas and or advice for this project. I feel it might be a bit of a hassle trying to find subjects willing to be in this series too.
Bettina von Zwehl Check her Page out!
She has done some series similar to this, with making her subjects wake up at odd hours and immediately photograph them. Another one she has done is making her subject sprint a series of laps and then photograph them tired and exhausted.
I just laughed so hard when I read this. I think it would re really funny to do this but, yah maybe difficult to find people willing to be tased. It might be interesting to take pictures of people after they have had dinner or a big meal. Maybe a before and after diptych? After the gym, after surfing, after drinking... I don't think that you necessarily have to have a meaning behind your project as much as you need to have a theme. I am not a conceptual artist so, there is never a meaning behind anything that I want to do except for the simple fact of me wanting to. I think you should get ideas from things that you already like taking pictures of. I think you said that you were interested in taking pictures in a more natural setting. What if you took pictures in different locations at the same time of day? Just a thought.
