Again, these images were successful in their visual look and contextual meaning, however I need to consider the lighting within them quite closely, so that each photograph has the same lighting as well as composition. This means I am going to either go into the studio and bring my models in, or bring the location lighting to the models, depending on how easy it is for them to come to Bristol to the studios. In terms of feedback, I was told to keep looking at all the other ideas on my hair mind-map too, so that I'm not just focusing on one aspect of hair. Continue to gather hair for studio work, along with other material and objects which I will use in the studio to create still lives around 'tools of hair construction', such as shampoo, hair dye, hairbrushes, combs etc. I will use these to create images in the studio, looking at how we construct our image and our hair through the use of other things, linking back to the industries that make money off of hair. At this stage, I am evolving strategies for my project, rather than finalising it. Obviously it is a short module and therefore needs a quick turn around and outcome, but for now I'm thinking of a broad end game in terms of a broad book on a study of hair, working on generating ideas, will help with narrowing down the next modules work. I'm also going to look into constructed documentary, along with the idea that we construct our look. As it will allow me to look at how I am taking my images, and whether I am documenting hair as a subject/thing, or whether I am taking composed, constructed images of something that I want people to know more about. The question is, is a constructed image still able to document a subject? I will use Joan Fontcuberta's Documentary Fiction's chapter in Pandoras Camera, and Click Double Click to research this genre of photography.
