The inspiration to focus my final major project on Organic Beauty came from a talk with Nat Van Zee. During the lecture she explained all of the toxic chemicals that are found in everyday products which was a real eye opener. Since the lecture I found myself checking the bottles of products that I used to see if the toxic chemicals are in there, to my surprise they were. The talk made me change the products that I use in order to keep my skin healthy. I got to thinking if these chemicals are in things like shampoo, then there are bound to be harmful chemicals in makeup too. I decided that I wanted to open peoples eyes like mine were and educate them about the chemicals that are in products that affect our skin.
The inspiration for my proposed photoshoots came from researching into the meaning of the word 'Organic' through online platforms like Pinterest and Instagram.
The images on the Pinterest board all have a pure aura to them. I was particularly inspired by the images of the body and ones with material with sunlight coming through behind. It was here that I came up with the idea to show a story, leading the audience through the realistation of the chemicals and then freeing the skin.
The image above in particular really inspired me. The detail of the highlight on the skin inspired me to create this but with a darker light to accentuate the highlight over the skin. I think images like this one would show people how delicate their skin is and make them realise about the chemicals that we put on them daily.
I was also inspired by the image above. I thought that this image represented the 'Pure' content of my website. The image has a connotation of freedom about it, with the sunlight and multiple exposures creating a depth.
