W/B 3rd Feb 14

This week I have a meeting with Dejan to discuss my final ideas and to see the progress which I have made. I had a photo shoot on Friday the 30^th with two models Izzi Bailey and Izzi Nash. The original idea was to explore split personality disorders, using Izzi Nash as the main model and to change her look 3-4 times whilst having Izzi Bailey’s look stay the same in each shot. Bailey is a visual representation of the damaging and dangerous side of the condition. Makeup and wigs worked very well, the lighting was perfect and one which I will use is most of my images to create a sense of continuity throughout the magazine. The models were good so I know to use them again, the time scale for the shoot was from 5pm until 9pm which is too long so I may enquire about a first year to assist.  I edited the pictures myself which look professional.

The meeting with Dejan highlighted that the content of the magazine should have a more solid construction. We decided to change the running theme throughout the magazine on the changing emotions and feelings which occur when going through heartbreak. 
Last year I split with with my long term boyfriend of nearly three years therefore I have first hand experience and can project this through my images and into each concept/emotion. As well as the memories I still have diary entries and conversations which I can look over as primary and personal research.
This particular photoshoot can also be related to heartbreak because of the mental health link when you experience a breakup. The depression and the dark side after you experience severe emotional pain. 
The shoot which I will be doing this week will be using a raw steak which will be held to look like a human heart. With this idea being refresh out of my mind and also having first-hand experience of heartbreak throughout my second year of university, I can project my own personal experience into my work making personal and others will be able to relate to each series shot within the final print.
