As funny as it may sound, I believe that everyone has experienced the nasty feeling of being plagued by a pimple outbreak.
Hence, the concept behind this piece of work aims to portray how people react to their pimple.
When you were young, you were nonchalant about your physical appearance. After eating ice cream and spreading it all over your mouth, all you could do is to run to your mom and say "Mommy...what's that red thing on my face?" Having a red spot did not mean much to you. You laugh when you are happy, cry when you are sad. Your packet of candies was far more important and precious to you than that red thingy...
When you grow older, beauty was your life. You start to develop many pimples during your puberty. You get irritated by that thing on your face...How are you going to face your friends!? Or that cute guy/girl in your class?
Having been on this world for 50 years, you have seen and experienced many things in life. From your marriage, family to your career. But who can forget that pimple. Does the importance attached physical appearance still persist? Or the occasional breakouts remind you of the times when you were insecure of your physical appearance. Maybe the worries seemed so futile now.
The comments given by the class were
- The pimple needed to be more obvious
- The second picture seemed too similar to the last two when they were supposed to portray another emotion
- Try placing the pimples at different location on the face
- The face on the fifth picture is too big as compared to the rest
What I can say is that: Shooting children is hard!!! First you need to play with them to gain their trust. Next you will have to be constant alert to find the best time to capture a shot. The lighting was bad as it was in an indoor hall. My friend had to distract the little boy with her palmtop in order for me to take a picture of him doing something instead of looking at my camera with a big smile...
The comments given during the session critique session were
- The colour of the photographys could be futher desaturated to make the pimple more obvious
- The palmtop was not obvious not enough hence he looked that he was staring out of the frame
