Constructed Realities
For the second assignment, my teacher had us take 4 images with the idea of a constructed reality, something that we created specifically for the camera to shoot. Imagine or recreate a story, scene, painting, or an event and stage it with the appropriate “actors” or figures, costumes, objects, images, lighting, ect.
For my 4 images I decided to recreate fairy tale characters, each one inspired a bit by Disney’s portrayal. I am a huge fan of Disney and had a lot of fun creating each Princess. I used a ball-joint doll as my “model” and hand made their dresses and yarn wigs. I put together a background for each model that I felt represented each model’s story. All in all, it was an assignment I enjoyed immensely.
