This fun project included photographing the large peony, creating printed invites onto 180gsm matt stock and an animated email with interactivity on the email address, telephone number and postal address. American typewriter font used.
This is the 11th image in the series called "Faceless Identity" The project is an investigation into the relationship between identity, time and distance.
This is the Artist Statement for "Faceless Identity"'
I have always been interested in portraits that do not conform to the norm. My photographic work always consists of capturing a live moment, but with my knowledge and extended research I have created a new direction of work with a personal perspective.
One of the main topics explored through this project is identity and time. To explore whether a character or personality can be captured during a period of time. The character throughout this project is myself, adding a personal view of how I can change over time. Each selection of images were taken over different days. I look different on each day, which shows how my identity has changed.
The triptych also expresses the factor between identity and time. The three images show the difference of identity over a small amount of time. The project in total shows the difference of identity over a long period. The difference between clothes, hair and even mood makes each image different in expressing identity.
Distance is also an important factor of the project. Depending on the distance of the viewer, the images takes on a different form due to the motion blur. Details are clear close up and the overall shape is visible further away. This expresses a difference in portrayal of identity depending on the distance of a person.
This project has been one of my most personal to date. Photographing myself over a long period has been an intimate experience. Creating a personal project has explored my own identity through photographic form.
I have taken inspiration from Alejandro Guijarro with his exploration of pixilation and audience visibility. Having an image take on a different form due to distance hugely inspired my thought process throughout this project, which influenced the use of a fast shutter speed through my self-portraits.
The future holds more self-portrait projects. My goals of expressing my identity photographically have been successful. After this effective project involving myself, I look forward to exploring myself photographically hereafter.
"To be or not to be" Personal Project
To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them. To die—to sleep,
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there's the rub:
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause—there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th'oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of dispriz'd love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th'unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovere'd country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry
And lose the name of action.
Les Parisiens (the Parisians) A new personal project: illustrating select people that I see around Paris. First: A girl walks in Montmartre one snowy day.
