Final Project

I like people. I always have—they fascinate me. For the final project I plan on photographing interesting looking people—beautiful people, sickly skinny people, fat people, ugly people, hairy people, etc. Many of these people will be friends of mine that will pose as models, and who will allow me to dress them up in interesting looking clothing—or no clothing at all. Others won't even know that I am shooting them. These people will be strangers that I see on the streets, and happen to look like someone worth shooting.

As far as communication is concerned, I wish to communicate to others that people are interesting. Like a fingerprint, you will never see two people who look the same, and if photographed correctly, they can look more interesting than any of the seven wonders of the world.

Making my project interesting will not be a problem, as that is the whole point—making people look interesting! I am not afraid to break the rules, and things like nudity and the grotesque do not scare me off.
