I’m working with a friend of mine to build his portfolio and refine his style/find his niche. He’s very into the idea of a photograph ‘saying something’ and not just being about some over-sexualized image for shock value. We’re planning to shoot outside in an area that’s used as a improvised skate-spot with some cool worn graffiti and brick. Any ideas or suggestions as far as theme or wardrobe would be greatly appreciated.
How about some good looking men in skirts and heels
Voltron Defender of the Universe!
Contrast the pose very much with the outfits & background, maybe?
Like normally if you wear urban fashion, you also take on a stance that is sort of defiant/tough. Perhaps putting the model in those kind of clothes but letting her sit all pristine and ladylike, or some such thing?
Another idea that might inspire you:http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/1982401/…
Also 1/4 of women in the US is on some kind of mental medication right now, so perhaps you could do something with that somehow – pills, expressions, I dunno.
Good luck =)
The contrast thing the person above me said. Her idea is cool.
Here is an example of a photo which actually says something about feminism.http://www.roflgirls.com/women-are-not-f…
Photograph a gold-digger, wearing designer clothes, jewelry, and so on, throwing pennies in the direction of a legless male war veteran begging on the street.
