Paper Personas


Created with flickr slideshow from softsea.


Part 1:

Composition: A series of six pictures, all with the same lightining and portrayed by the same actor using the same styling, all presenting six characters just made by the usage of paper props.

Concept: Constructed identities.

Method: Constructed identities is fun! So I decided to move away from just playing on screen but also playing with the items. I have already played with masks and paper cutouts, so I decided to take it to next level by creating this sort of funny looking props and interpreting a character all with the usage of the prompts.

Motivations: Fun and Experimentation. It was all based on the simple question as to why do we

Context: Constructed reality. I think some other photographers have done constructed identities, but I wanted to go the next step beyond which would be interacting with them.

Part 2

Interpretation: The audience loved it. They thought it was clever and funny and I think so too!.

Evaluation: Maybe add more props? i think the series is completed in it's own particular way, but definitively I'll add more props next time.

Extension: The final project deals with constructed identities out of paper, so I think I'm on my right track.
