I spoke with my tutor about how to focus more closely on a specific area within my project, and mentioned that I'd been thinking of working around beauty. This led us to look at how beauty has changed through the years, with people like Marilyn Monroe compared to modern idols who are a lot younger and skinnier. We also spoke about recreating famous or popular photographs but with 'real' people, instead of models made up and photoshopped.
I think I might do something like this, it would be a good starting point for my final pieces. Although, I would really like to use some of my previous work for my final pieces, including the portraits and body shots produced earlier.
It's a topic I'd like to follow up for my final piece, mainly because it's something a lot of people have strong opinions on. As well as that, it's something that is a part of every day life, and something that can have a massive impact on people regularly. A lot of my research will probably be opinion based, I think that's stronger work that something taken from a magazine, books or the internet.
