Work-in-Progress #2

Over the last two weeks I have made, what I feel like is much progress on my individual project. After the last critique I realized that I had a lot of thinking to do about specifics of my project that I had not gone into enough detail yet. Most of the questions were about what my goals were to achieve. I thought about whether or not have the faces were important to me or if the tattoos would be justified and I decided that they both are critical to my project and that I felt that the project would not go in the direction that I would want if it were just the tattoos. I also think now that a side-by-side approach might be how I want them presented. It makes a viewer immediately think about them together but also separate as they are different images. That is what I want; the viewer to look at them as one and as two that way it appears as part of their identity but not purely. I am extremely undecided on what face I want, a neutral of expression. They give different directions to the project but I don't know which one I feel like is the one I want to take. I also realized that all the photos I have are of females. I realized I like that and want to continue with that but I have not pin-pointed down the reason as to why that is yet. I have made progress but I also have gotten more questions by doing that, but now I have a clearer direction of where I want to go in general.
