Final Ideas
I feel that as my research progressed, as did my ideas. From being about what people wanted to be when they were younger and how little there was to be known from an image to family and relationships. I have been thinking continuously about what the project is really about to me, and with the aid of my research i've come to the conclusion it mostly evolves about those around me and how they feel. I then felt that this wasn't a strong enough idea, and needed to be a little more precise. To make the project more interesting to me, I decided that if I limited this to just the males in my life the edit and meaning behind it would be a lot stronger. What I wanted to show in these images were strongly influenced by the works of Gianfranco Briceño and Robert Mapplethorpe, who both used themes of masculinity to different effects and meanings. Briceño uses more the lack of masculinity rather than the presence of it. This allows the viewer to perhaps get inside the head of some men....
