Task 2 - Planning part 1 - Ideas.

Cubism photoshoot ideas:


My first idea for the cubism photo shoot is to photograph a building in an analytic cubist fashion. I plan to photograph a building from various different angles with the view of placing them all together to recreate the image of the building which was originally photographed. This idea was inspired by the painting Ma Jolie by Pablo Picasso. This painting is originally musically inspired and the figure of Picassos lover is loosely linked into it, however the muted colours and angular shapes reminded me of that featured in buildings.
  
My second idea for the cubism photo shoot is to photograph my cats head on and present them in a synthetic cubist fashion. My idea is to photograph 3 different cats head on, so the photograph solely consists of the cats face, then crop and edit the pictures together to recreate the image of one cats face using different features from different cats. This idea was inspired by this image from an independent photographer that I found when I searched the words “cubism in photography” in google to gain inspiration.



Futurism photoshoot ideas:

My first idea for the futurist photo shoot is to go out at night and use the long exposure feature on my camera to capture the streak of light that comes from the tail light on the cars which are passing by. Ideally, this will capture the essence of movement, speed and power which is present in typically futurist art. This idea was inspired by the painting ‘The Uprising’ by Luigi Russolo as the red lines running through this reminded me of the red lines which could run through the centre of the photograph if the long exposure feature is used to capture the tail lights of a car at night.
 



My second Idea for the futurist photo shoot is to get my model to use a trampoline to do backflips/ front flips and for me to capture this using the rapid shutter feature on my camera to ensure the most movement is recorded. Once I have taken these pictures I plan to overlay these pictures on top of each other so my model is visible several times within the image at different stages of the flip. By doing this, it will create the illusion of movement and speed which are key elements of the futurist art movement. This idea was inspired by the painting automobile in corsa by Gacomo Balla as the lines and curves of this image suggest movement as would the lines and curves of my models body whilst in mid air.
