Music Influences
For this photography and styling project, we have started looking into the use of psychedelics and alcohol to enhance or change ones perception of the world. We want to portrait this in our images so we have started looking at different music videos with the same aesthetic that we are looking for. The first music video we have looked at and taken inspiration from is the ‘LSD’ video by ASAP Rocky. The video has a ‘trippy’ vibe throughout, which is achieved by distorting some of the footage and having bright colours throughout. I think our final images will be heavily influenced by this music video and the meaning behind it.

Concepts
For this Photography and Styling project, we had to come up with 3 concepts for 3 different photo-shoots. In my pair, we have decided to have a main concept of ‘Distortion and Perception’ then from that have 3 different ideas that link together for our shoots. We decided the first shoot concept under perception would be lack of vision, so how people who are visually impaired might see other people. The second concept is perception under the influence of drugs and alcohol and we are hoping to have a set of photos that makes the viewer feel like they are under the influence. The final concept is sober perception and how a sober person would view the same situation but without drugs.
Styling Workshop – David Lynch and Raf Simons Inspired
Today we had another workshop with Stephanie John. We had to pick 2 artists/designers/producers who relate to each other and create looks inspired by that. For our shoot we decided to use Raf Simons and David Lynch as our influences as they both have similar aesthetics and male outfits. We started off in a photo studio, then went to the pier to get some cool photos that go with the look. I had a lot of fun doing this and I hope to do more men’s styling and photography in future projects.
Feminism Avant Garde – The Photographer’s Gallery
Last week, I went up to London with the other people in my group to visit the Photographer’s Gallery to see the Feminism Avant Garde exhibition. We decided to go to this exhibition because so far we have kind of decided we want to focus our project on Distortion or Identity and looking quickly online, it looked like we would get a lot of useful information from here to help out project get started. Whilst looking around the exhibition, I came across a photography series called ‘Self’ by an artist called ‘Annegret Soltau’. In the first few images, Soltau has wrapped thread around her face quite subtly. However as the potos progress it gives the effect of a cocoon, concealing her identity or trapping who she is, which i found really interesting and its inspired me to try something similar with different materials for my project. At the end of the photos she is photographed cutting the thread and kind of freeing herself from who she is pretending to be and showing her true identity.
Tate Modern
Last week I decided to take a visit to London to go to the Tate Modern to help me with my project work. I decided to go to the Tate because it has a wide range of exhibitions and different artists to take inspiration from. I didn’t go for any exhibition in particular, I was mainly looking for photography inspiration for my project. Although I didn’t find much photography work that inspired me, I did see a few sculpture pieces that I thought were interesting and I ,might use for referencing in my sketchbook.
