Model???

Unfortunately I am unable to photograph Sally Brown, as I was unaware that she lives in Northern Ireland and does not regularly come to England unless it is sport related. I was really excited about photographing her and had some fun ideas of what to do. However I knew there would be a chance that this would not happen.

 I had been researching other photographers who had taken photographs of other Para Olympians, here is an example below.

Richard booth

  

Booths photographs are very empowering the movement in them makes these athletes become more of the superhuman. I also like how he has kept the step up and colouring simple so the main focus is the athletes and their movement.

 

I had to brainstorm another person I could photograph who would embodie All Walks philosphy. The model is the key element of the shoot and if they do not challenge the restrictions that are put up about the industry with age, shape, skin tone or size then there is no point in me doing the competition. I also wanted to show a bit of the personality of the model.. the quirkier the better. I started to think of people I knew who who be the perfect subject.


Possible models:
Jerry my hairdresser: he has such a quirky style and has striking features which would work well

Dot, a teaching assistant from my old school: she is the definition of fun and always has fun hairstyle and a quirky fashion sense. She always like to wear something different that will make her stand out. Would photograph amazingly.

Grant my old milk man: He has striking features and is a well known figure in Balham for being such a lovely person and also recently overcame his battle with leukmia.

Suzy the owner of the flower shop Tiger lillies in Balham: She has striking features and would photograph well
