Final Project


For my final project I am going to have a series of 10 photos that all involve stereotypes or “things that don’t belong.” In todays society, its sad to say but when we see someone that is different in a situation that they normally wouldn’t be in, we seem to think that something is wrong, or we have some kind of opinion, we don’t just let it go. For my final project I want to touch on that. I want 10 different situations that involve all types of different people and in each situation there will be that one person that is “different.” Instead of having that person seem uncomfortable or look as if they don’t belong, I am going to incorporate them as if they do feel comfortable and they own wherever they are at. I want the audience to look at the photo and get the feeling that the person in the picture “should” be getting by seeing how perfect they fit into the situation. For example, when we think of a gym scene we usually think of big muscle head guys in tank tops benching 200 pounds. We never see a flamboyant homosexual all decked out in pink and glitter at the gym, I want to change that I want to have that person at the gym and mixed upon the usual’s as if he is no different.  All of the scenes and situations will be realistically set up, very simple scenarios that are every day occurances.
I am going to touch all bases that seem to cause controversy. There will be race, religion, sexual preference, gender, age, and even sports preferences. I hope to convey the image that I have in my head through my camera, and I hope I can affect the viewers like I hope too.
