Refine thinking

I'm going to techniques of Ralph Gibson for the first images of panel one. I'd like to introduce a male model and experiment with this in early morning light using the sunglasses along with the model.

As the panel progresses I'd like to include full body photography using Scott Cameron as my model. I'd like to capture these images outside the courtyard near the home economics room at my school where the area is surrounded by framework.

I like the lighting effects used in these images and the shadows created from the light hitting the sunglasses. In these pictures I did not adjust the white balance correctly which is a result of the images having a sepia tone. I would need to change this for further photo-shoots. These pictures have not yet been edited, but I am looking to experiment with photoshop.

Proposal

 Depression has been something that has affected my family immensely over the past 2 years. I would like to develop this 'idea' through my photography as it is important to me. I have researched artist models Kenneth Josephson, Ernst Haas and Ralph Gibson whose techniques I'd like to explore in the beginning of panel one. These pictorial elements include blurred motion, lighting and shadowing. For subject matter I'd like to experiment with a pair of sunglasses which links to how people can only see darkness. Possibly comparing this to rose tinted glasses.
