The title of my project will be “Dirty”. Our first reaction to a photo is how perfect it is, as the amount of perfection in a photo equals to the amount of beauty. This has led to many problems on multiple social media platforms, as people are getting mental health issues. People are losing confidence in their bodies and faces, as they think that the perfect models on social media are what true beauty is. Many people are excluded from being perfect, such as people with disabilites and old people. It is facinating how social media can truly change the way people think in a short period of time. It has destroyed the true meaning of beauty, as now everyone is the same (through perfection). I believe that true beauty isn’t perfection and the imperfections from a person is what makes them unique and beautiful in their own ways. I want my audience to realize this too, as our first reaction to a photo shouldn’t be how perfect it is, but to look deeper at the emotions, stories, and details that may be in the photo. On the surface level, people can be perfect on social media, however, showing your true self with unqiue details can make your identity special in the world. For inspiration, I looked at photographs of different people that weren’t recognized, such as workers, old people.. etc. They show many details in the wringles of the skin, the glossiness of the eyes, and the different postures that utilize hands. These elements help to get focus on the face, showing the true beauty. Lastly, the clothes and the background can be very simple, and the photograph could be in black and white. This could possibly bring more focus to the subject in the photograph, showing the theme of how beauty isn’t from perfection, but from the unique and interesting elements from everyone’s identity.
