Racheal Cameron (Photographer) Proposal

As I am working alongside a photographer in this collaborative project I also feel it useful to include her proposal, which includes a slightly different narrative and reasoning but will meet the same outcome through working together. We decided this would be a good practise to work to different briefs as our courses demand so many different elements of work.

"My second project for this unit is a collaboration of myself and a third year Make up and Prosthetics student. We are working together to achieve an imaginative and artistic

outcome we both want along with a team of people including Carlota Cabrera Ballesteros the costumer designer, Emily Taylor the stylist, Charlee Hulbert the MUA along with her assistant and my own photographic assistant. Our narrative for this project is a contemporary twist on the film Fairy Tale: A True Story (1997) directed by Charles Sturridge, looking at fairies as a real life existing species based on the first scientific evidence seen photographic form in 1917 (fig 5). Whilst taking on the latest trend of next season summer/spring 2015, incorporated high fashion hair and make up as a focal point of interest with in the shoot. The model will take on the role of a controversial fairy that people are doubtful of existing and the effect this has had on her. Motivational photographic influences have come from the likes of Kirsty Michell’s narrative through her images (fig 6), Tim Walker’s compositions and Benjamin Kanarek."
