Shoot ideas

I had a few more ideas and I wanted to jot them down before I forgot them. The first one is going to be attempted on the 20th so good luck to us, lol. We are going to use ropes and fabric to hang from the ceiling, do my make up like a rag doll or like a puppet and hang me from the ropes and fabric in the ceiling. Cool, huh?

Just had another idea with that. A long time ago I did a wood print called chained soul and I also did a sketch called vanity. We could easily reproduce chained soul by hanging the chains from the ceiling, strapping them to me some how??, and go from there to get our images. We need a ball for the chains though. It pretty much represents exactly what the title describes. A trapped soul, bound by chains. The make up will look simple but will actually be quite the task for Sarah. It has to be done fully nude, and even though I'm already pale, we will want to try to make me look even more so. We will also have to use make up to make me look like skin and bones, especially on the face. I want string, dirty hair and am contemplating investing in extensions so it will be the length I want. The setting should be very dark and bland

Vanity was a drawing of a girl hanging by her hands from ribbon and fabric. She was in front of a mirror that was shattered by her body swinging in the air. We could do it without the mirror in the back ground, but the image of her swinging in the air from delicate fabric has the potential to be breath taking. It's nude as well, but the fabric covers all delicates :)

The other idea I have is going to be pretty fun. I was thinking today about a series of "Liberate Yourself" posters. The first is 10 photos surrounding a larger one, or whatever numbers add up. The boarder photos are like back stage shots of a model in country, punk, hip-hop, nautical, formal, skanky, etc. outfits. In the middle is them same woman, nude, drawing "The real me" and terms of endearment all over herself with a purple/pink marker. The caption at the bottom could read "Liberate Yourself...by finding yourself"
Another "LY" poster is a series of images of a woman in the nude doing various things. Laundry, cooking, reading, playing on the internet, watching tv, sleeping, etc. totally nude. At the bottom it says "Liberate Yourself...dig out your birthday suit"
I want to do a lot like this that basically send the message to make yourself a free person by riding yourself of societies standards. Example, LY...do it like they do on the PBS channel. Use images of hand washing clothes, growing veggies in the window, sponge bathing with water boiled on the stove, reading and working by candle light.

But any who....there are my ideas. I'm going to bed :)
