Monique is UNCOVER and DISCOVERED

Concept:

To create a series of four portraits (self portrait) images to represent Monique from what she loves to how she is feeling and experiencing right now. In response, to those four images I would create a series of four still life images to capture and symbolise more deeply about Monique.

This would be achieved through creating the following themes to help represent what Monique is right now; these include;

1. What she loves;
Taking photographs

Drinking chia lattes

2. Umotivated;
Unmotivated

so much work to do and feels overwhelmed by how much there is to do.

Time is going too fast

so much to do, so little time

3. Constricted;
Constricted

feels like she is inside a box, separated from her camera and can’t do too much.

Messy Room

when my room is a mess, my mind is a mess.

4. Trapped;
Trapped

She wants to escape but doesn’t know how to get out or where to get out from.

Reflection

It is a reflection on what her life is right now and what is happening too. Her life is focused on studying and getting a diploma in Photo imaging.

Geisha - Photographer Jessica Walker
Once again a collaboration with the amazing, J-Chans Designs (Model Mayhem #542467). This woman is amazingly talented. She designed the costume, the wig and did the makeup. I can’t wait to work with her again!

And the incredibly gorgeous model is Elizabeth Maiden (Model Mayhem#401472)
This is just a taste of more to come!!!! It was an incredibly successful shoot. And my first outdoor photo shoot in a long time at a very neat location. It’s an old building near an industrial park near my house which burned down a year or so ago. What’s left is a metal and concrete shell. It made for a great setting.
I’m so happy about this shoot!
