My+Proposal

The Proposal: Beauty of nature My concept theme was something like memoir of Geisha or a Princess trap inside her temple/castle. I was thinking doing a very colourful contrast photo by using digital and the elements e.g. line, shape, pattern, texture, perspective, tone, especially the colours – ROYGBIV. I’m going to do this around at Chinese Garden and I’ll find someone, maybe my cousin, sister, friends. I have taken photos there before and experience the visual of the feeling inside the Chinese Garden. I respect and believe that this place is very important to the people of China. The last time I’ve taken photos there it wasn’t really good and I’m really focus on this project, so I think I’m going to give a try and hopefully it will be very interesting to look. Here are some of my inspirations that are related to the concept: Memoir of Geisha It was published in 1997, the insights that it gave into the Japanese world of the Geisha created enormous interest. They entertain by p erforming various Japanese arts such as classical music and dance. A geisha's appearance changes throughout her career, from the girlish, heavily made-up maiko, to the more sombre appearance of an older established geisha. Through their Cothing which is   Kimino clothing, very stylish with such a bright, silky fabric colours with flowers pattern surround, their make-up are very pale face with red lipstick on their lips, pink blushes on their cheeks and also black eyeliner in the eyes. The hair, during the 17th century, women began putting all their hair up and it is during this time that the traditional shimada hairstyle, a type of traditional chignon worn by most established geisha. T hey walk around the cities, holding a unmbrella and sometimes a fan. They play Japanese instruments such as Biwa, Shakuhachi bamboo flute and they sing and dance along.

Here are some examples of photograph that relate to the concept:
