After a lot of deliberation, I have deviated from my first thoughts of photographing people's possessions and started thinking that maybe looking into reflection was a more interesting topic. Reflections are a totally individual interpretation of one's self, and I found it a really fascinating idea.
On this note I did a photoshoot of myself, directing a friend to take the photos. The aim of the photoshoot was to create a series of images that I could use as reflections of myself. I am planning on edited the photos with 2+ versions of myself in them, as if one of them is me looking at my reflection. With this in mind, I took a lot of the images with my hand up, so that when it came to editing I would be able to flip some of the images and edit them together with another image as if the two me's were standing palm to palm, or just somehow connected physically within the image.
I was also quite interested in the idea of maybe putting some reflections into the eyes, so I directed several close up shots to be taken of my eyes.
Are you going to make the two images of yourself different in any way? to show different aspects / interests /how you might be with different groups etc. There is a lot of scope here to experiment with different clothes expressions symbolic objects and so on
