Show through photography a stage in someone life.

Taking a photograph of something in a museum and in the reflection have a faint picture of its use before the museum.

Photograph of someone's emotion at different stages in the day using reflection.

1. my first idea was to have my model looking in the mirror with an emotion on her face, for example she is looking happy, however in

the reflection in the mirror it shows her emotion as sad. I think this photograph would be good as it would show that just by looking at a person you cant really tell what they are feeling as you may not see a persons emotion just by looking at them.

2. my second idea was to have a person looking straight into the camera with a no face, just like the photograph with a row of masks with different emotions hanging behind the person, this would show how people can just choose a emotion and the emotion is just a mask that’s hiding what is underneath,

3. my third idea is were the model has no face again ad is holding her face as a mask just below her face, then I would photograph the movement as the emotion change and the mask is moving across. This would show how the journey of emotions are changing

I think this photograph stands out from the rest because its about self discovery which everyone goes through, I also think it’s a powerful photograph because it shows that underneath emotions everyone is the same at that an emotion is just a mask to hide what is underneath. From looking at this photograph I realised I wanted to take some photographs like this so I have three different ideas to go from. With all of these ideas I would do the photography in black and white as this would show more detail and make the photograph have more feeling as the person would be discovering every emotion in idea 2 and not all emotions are happy so I think it would work best and get more feeling across if the photograph was black and white.

Emotion mood board

Human emotions

The component that seems to be the core of common sense approaches to emotion is the feeling component, i.e., the passion or sensation of emotion.

Another obvious descriptive component of emotion is the set of behaviours that may be performed and observed in conjunction with an emotion.

A less obvious component of emotion is the set of internal bodily changes caused by the smooth muscles and glands.

Another less observable component in emotion consists of the ideation, imagery, and thoughts that occur during emotion.

‘The study has challenged a commonly-held belief that there are six basic emotions of happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust.’

fear and surprise shared the "signal" of wide open eyes, while anger and disgust shared a wrinkled nose.
