Document Proposal

I've decided to use the concept of fashion for my document project. I am going to visit various stores and photograph mannequins. I will most likely look for mannequins that are dressed or positioned in a more abstract way to represent the way fashion is portrayed in many magazine advertisements and on runways.

I want to capture different lighting and backgrounds which is why I will be taking photographs at different stores. This will create variation with in my document project and will also give each subject a personality to accompany the image. I can create a photograph out of the moods that are reflected in each of the stores.

My motivation stems from the fact that I find beauty in many fashion advertisements. I will tear them out of the magazine and frame them if they fit my tastes. I think I'll find it interesting to put on a mock photo-shoot with plastic subjects.
