Journal 5

This week I'm working through everything. I'm going to be shooting in studio instead of in my environment and seeing what kind of different results I get and which ones I like best compared to the ones I took last week. I'll be shooting myself mainly, but I also want to shoot my family. I'm going to see if shooting my family will help me to see how I want to shoot myself and after reviewing my images I'll try to decide what direction I want to go in from there. 
I've still been looking at Ana Mendieta's work. 
I met with Miranda Lichtenstein and I was happy to have her look at my work and talk about it. That's one of the things I was hoping to do for a while. 
Here's some of her work:


This is from her series "The Searchers"

I started looking at Cindy Sherman's work as well and the idea of dressing up. I think dressing up can show a part of oneself that one usually doesn't get shown like an alter ego kind of thing but also how well people can blend into different personas. I want to experiment more with the idea of identity.
