My main idea is depression disorder. It is a horrible disease as we all know. But I don’t want to show how painfully when people suffering from it. I just want to show then changing after people got this disease, in a romantic way. Rose is a symbol in this project. When the rose changed, the depression is getting deeper.

I want do portrait photography in my final project. It will be an indoor project, use light box, black background paper and color gels in our studio. It will look like fashion magazine photos, but it will focus on light and model’s face rather than clothes or accessories.

Kertin Vasser is the photographer who inspired me. He is a commercial photographer, not very famous, but his works are fabulous.

Girls used to play with porcelain doll, now they have Barbie doll. 

People used to love Shakespeare’s play, now they learn about what is the Game Theory.

People used to drink wines, now everyone loves Coca Cola.

People used to smoke with pipe, now cigarette can purchase anywhere.

Gramophone used to be popular, now people love headphones.

Apple used to be a kind of fruit, now it is high technology.

 

 

 

 

At the beginning, I want take photos about Steam Punk, focus on clothing, accessories and model’s face. Steam Punk was appeared at the the end of 19th century. There was a major historical fact in 19th century –  industrial revolution. After the revolution, an interesting phenomenon has appeared, tradition and technology coexist. For example, cars and carriages both running on the road. Base on that time background, Steam Punk appeared. It is a Utopia which full of imaginations. It has lots of high technology elements: airships, submarines, battle robots… But is also very ‘vintage’, all of the clothings are following Victorian style, except lots of industrial elements, especially the gear.

Typical Steam Punk dressing:

And I’m trying to find a photographer to learn about, I found Zhang Jingna. She is a Chinese-Singaporean portrait photographer. Many of her works look like middle century paintings.    I thing single light source (low key) is more fit her style, like the second one, it has strong sense of mysterious and fear.

So, I want my works look like Rembrandt’s oil painting. But darker and more gothic.

Then I want give more content to my project, not only show what is steam punk.

Because steam punk appeared after the industrial revolution, and it has wonderful contradiction, I want make thing contradiction bigger. So my project ‘Revolution’ came out.
