Yesterday I did the modern half of my Prohibition photo shoot. Here are a few of my post-edit/pre-collage shots.
My concentration theme is a cause and effect/then and now composite image photostory comparing the progression of the eras. The cause/effect era progression idea is interesting to me because I've always been fascinated by different time periods that I was unfortunately born too late to partake in. The compare/contrast nature of my concentration allows the modern and retro to interact, bridging the gap between an age I'm familiar with and an era I've only seen depicted through the media.

Week Three
This week I didn't have access to a model so I took some photos of objects representative of different eras I intend to depict. I'll use the photos to dot the edges of my finished collages. This week I also contemplated changing my concentration to a focus on the stereotypes of the early 60's. There would be an image of the commercial reality and then an image of the true reality. Like the housewife depicted in my previous post and then a consecutive photo of her lying in bed crying, or something similar. I'll hopefully have a Prohibition photoshoot this weekend and will be better able to evaluate the quality of my concept.
Could work for future hippie shots

Week Two
So this week I began upon my era progression idea. I created the illusion of the 1950's housewife baking cookies and the same model in modern era eating the cookies. I played around a bunch with the composition of the photos and the balance between modern and period piece.

Week one
I didn't have all the components of my concentration ready for capture so instead I drew storyboards to help plan my images.
