I wanted to incorporate actual costumes in my work so to do that my idea was to photograph masks that could potentially be seen in carnivals. I wanted my masks to link in with my other shoots and to do that I decided to use the theme of glitter I have been carrying throughout this brief.
I am really happy with these images but as stand alone work. I love the way the jewels sparkle and glitter creating a magical aura around the photographs. I do not however think that they fit with the rest of the work I have produced for my brief. This is mainly because they seem to be for a different carnival than the one that I am shooting for. They have more of a soft, venetian feel to them which doesn’t really work against the hard, raw style of my other images.
