For my final project, I want to do a campaign that promotes “Self Love.” Self Love is very important and I feel that a lot of people aren’t aware of how important it is. I want my images to help people with low self-esteem and helping them build their self-image. When I attended a self-love class the first activity was to stand in front of a mirror and tell yourself what you love about yourself and shockingly it was hard for a lot of people couldn’t even look in the mirror. I want to include this image in my project, with the goal of people embracing their reflection, their true selves.
That being said I want to have different mirror sizes and shots of the models looking in the mirror and smiling. Every shot I want to be able to catch their expression along with their reflection. My biggest challenge will be figuring out the best lighting because mirrors are hard to capture without the flash showing. I did a lot of researching and found a lot of inspiration on Pinterest.
Looking at these examples again. the last one is much like waht you sot in class last week. Only the example uses shallow depth of field. Remember it is hard to get shallow depth of field with the school lenses. use one of the lens I brought in if you need shallow dof.
Also, the second example is really interesting in that one person is reflecting another. You might try something like this.It is not exactly about self love but it could be a comment on self image.
