Transformation Brainstorm

Yesterday we learned about the idea of Transformation in contemporary photography.  We looked at the work of Cindy Sherman and Nikki S. Lee and saw how they transformed their identity in their photography.

For this next project, you will transform yourself into someone else.

Let's Brainstorm!

1. If you could transform yourself into another person, who would it be?  Would it be a person of a certain occupation?  A celebrity?  A family member? A fictional character?
2. Why do you want to transform yourself into this person?
3. What locations will you photograph yourself in?
4. What props will you need in order to complete this transformation?
5. What research will you need to do in order to photograph yourself as this person?
6. Upload a photo of inspiration for your new character. Explain how you will create the mood and expression of that person in your photo series.
