The Damsel in Distress
by helen608
For the damsel in distress shoot I used pink flowers which symbolise gratitude and blueberries which symbolise protection. Again I was working with the idea of hiding her face so any individuality is lost and all that remains is the role prescribed to her. Unfortunately I am not happy with the results of this and will have to reshoot. I wanted to tangle the models hair up in the brambles and gorse bushes to represent the notion of her existing in entrapment, waiting for her heroic knight to rescue hair. However the hair was very soft and thin and not right for what I was trying to do with it. The female needs to appear helpless, unable to do anything about her predicament which is in actuality very easy to get out of. I was also experimenting with squashing the blueberries again keeping with the idea that this shows some motion on the females part of freeing herself from her role within the image. I will be trying the shoot again with a model with thicker hair and hopefully will achieve the images that I want.

It is a contrast between “I” and “what I see”. The first photograph from above is a corner of my dressing table/window.

She said One self portrait a day, every day, for as long as she can keep going.
The way she self-portrating is very similar to write a dairy. It is ordinary, sensitive, touching and of course very personal. Some of the time she sets up the composition, but it still looks natural.
