Portraits Project 

Don’t Suffocate Me With My Flowers 


The concept:

For this portrait I was inspired by the way the photographers I studied showed vulnerability, sexuality and innocence so, I took those and wanted to capture vulnerability of my subject through using real flowers and the neon lights as a metaphor of the subject being taken over by her own vulnerability within that space.
The flowers represent sexuality and discovery whilst she is still making herself vulnerable.

Test Shots:




The rough takes:










The photograph in the beginning was inspired by Rene Magritte's painting of the lover's but, it didn't work out with my concept and what I wanted to capture although I want to try something in ode to Rene.


(The Lovers 1, 1928 by Rene Magritte)

 The one's I would've picked but didn't:

I want to portray this by using ribbons and having three people whom aren't dancing in simple black outfits and the main dancer is a plain nude leotard like in Sia' dance music videos which Sia also portrayed toxicity in "Elastic Heart".
