Fears and Phobias | Final Outcome Ideas

For my final outcome idea, I want to focus on different fears and phobias. I want to use makeup to be able to represent each fear or phobia. My final outcome will be a series 18 images, which will be split into 2 sections. The first section will be a series of 9 photographs, where my models will be representing the fear and phobia with the use of makeup. The second section will be a series of 9 still life images that represent each fear and phobia. The two sections connect together to create a final piece of 18 different photographs. For example, if someone has a fear of the dark, I will have a photograph of them in the dark so you can only see their face and the still life photograph to go with it will be loads of light bulbs and torches etc.

I started to draw out a few of my composition ideas for my final outcome. For this idea I came up with a series of 6 images where each model will be doing the same pose (on the right) and they will be looking at themselves (on the left) with there fear represented by makeup on their faces. 

For this idea I wanted to use Polaroid’s to frame each photograph and at the bottom of each photograph write different words that related to each fear. I really like this idea, but as a final outcome I don't want to add words, as I want the viewers to try and work out what fear and phobia it is. I want my images to be more abstract and unknown.

 For this idea I wanted to get black balloons and attach them to each photograph, like the model is letting go of their fear. This idea is what I am going to do for my final outcome but I have adapted it slightly. I'm not going to have an envelope on the back that explains each fear; I am going to have a still life photograph on the floor, underneath each photograph. As I stated above, I want my work to be abstract and unknown to the viewer, so they have to guess what each fear is themselves.

The balloon and two photographs attached to it, is what I want my final outcome to look like. With the still life on the floor and the fear in the middle.
