IDEAS

Looking at my previous research so far I have come up with a few ideas…

1. I could use objects to represent private parts, such as balloons for breasts etc. This way I can include a naked body but not show their private parts, making the images have a more relaxed fun approach to them rather than a serious controversial note to them. With this I would still be able to use landscapes, but experiment with props and sorts instead. Definitely something to think about.

2. Creating a narrative, the issue I have with the images i've already taken would be that people jump to the wrong conclusion with them. Such as 'oh my god, men could have been staring at her, watching her, making her feel uncomfortable' (nonsense) however I can't stop people from thinking this, so with the help from my CP tutor, we came up with the idea that my images would have a narrative. Maybe the model is in control of the 'clicker' and takes the picture when he / she feels most comfortable. With this I would set the shoot up, so everything to do with camera settings, where the tripod is / or if I'm holding it, the landscape etc. This way, I can say that the model chose to press it, rather than I 'forced him or her' . 

Another way I could do this is by interviewing everyone I take pictures of. Ask them questions about how they feel, what it means to be naked etc. Ask them all the same ones, so there is a running theme. This way people can't make up their own 'story' of what is happening in the images etc as there will already be one with the image. 

3. I also thought about fabric concealing the body,  I was thinking either clear or black, so black conceals it completely, yet also creates a sense of shadows and light. However clear means you can still see the model nude, except there's still this image of viewing him or her. The only issue with this is that it might be hard to take the pictures not from a males perspective, but I suppose there isn't any harm in trying. 

4. I found this image by Amanda Jasnowski and I would love to try doing something like this.  I think it's absolutely stunning. Notice the arm pit hair as well, I absolutely love that the model is completely natural.
