Black Final 1
For my conceptual series, I wanted to convey people's insecurities. Almost everyone has something they wish they didn't have, a flaw. Even if the flaw is irrelevant. Some people get so upset us with their flaw that they think it's the only thing a person notices about them. For my photos I wanted to show that an insecurity for someone isn't thought of as a bad thing for the people who see the flaw. I wanted to show that if you do not meet society's criteria of the perfect person, you often feel embarrassed about yourself. I went around and took photos of what people were most insecure about.
My first picture meets my series goals by having a photo of what my friend is most insecure about. He does not like how pudgy his veins are. It meets my goal by sharing that what we think is average or acceptable might be a huge insecurity for the person who has it because prominent veins are not viewed as a "beautiful" element.
My second picture meets my project goals by having a picture of my mom's eye. My mom is most insecure about her eyes because of how big she thinks they are. What we might think as beautiful, like big blue eyes, can be a insecurity for the person with bigger eyes, because most people do not have them.
My third photo meets my project goals by having a picture of my friend's lip. She is insecure about how big her lips are. This meets my project goals because most people won't think her lips are that big, or that they are average lips. To her it is her biggest insecurity, because bigger lips are not very popular.
My fourth photo meets my project goes by having the picture of my dad's hands. My dad is mostly insecure about his hands because he says they are too rough. While people who think his hands have interesting texture, he feels like that having large rough hands is a bad thing. Society portrays that boys are tough manly people and are not allowed to have insecurities
My fifth photo meets my project goals by showing my insecurity. My main insecurity is how big and broad my shoulders are. Society makes it seem that if a girl does not have feminine traits, like small, petite shoulders, she is not beautiful. Constant reassurance does not make the insecurity disappear. Society makes it seem like people who don't fit into the outline of society's "perfect person." are not beautiful.
