With my final project I wanted to
investigate into my interest in portrait photography, specifically into the
creation and exploration of identity. As a theatre major focused in costume
design, a huge part of my work deals exactly with the creation of different
characters visually, and how changing clothing, posture, and makeup can change
someone’s character. With this in mind, I approached this project with the
intention of using mostly makeup to create different characters. For the format
of the images, I also chose something relevant to my work in theatre, and took
a straight on documentary approach, as opposed to placing these characters in a
more natural environment, to recreate the type of photos designers give actors
as a makeup plot. I felt this was a practical way of merging my biggest passion
into this final project.
