Themes for the project

Lately, I've been thinking about my project. I've come up with two topics. 

First idea would include portraits of different people (I want to make it very diverse, in a sense of nationalities) with different emotions (mostly, I'd like to focus on eyes expressions). Background must be colorful with very detailed pattern (I think of using different wallpapers with very small patterns on them). Background is very important, because I want to work up the pictures in Photoshop and apply a kind of 3D effect on them; so, the background would make this effect to be more eye-catching and more visible. I'll upload a kind of draft lately today.

The second idea is about working with shadows; putting different objects and light them by a lamp and photograph their shadows. This pictures are just the examples, for the project I'd try to choose more interesting objects and also maybe to focus on their textures better.

Selected Photograph

I like staged photographs, when every detail is considered and matched with the whole atmosphere of a photograph. A photograph, in my opinion, should influence people, but also give them an opportunity and freedom to interpret it in the way they feel when looking on it.

Romeo&Juliet

by Annie Lebovitz

When looking on this photograph you feel the early morning and, of course, you know the story it describes ("For never was a story of more woe; Than this of Juliet and her Romeo"(c)); so, your attention focuses on performance. You see the light, the clothes chosen, the balcony... even movements of the actors... everything was selected and placed in a way to create a kind of harmony.
Annie Lebovitz is one of my favorite photographers. Every her work includes an unique idea and professional performance of it.
