[glitterxxkitten]

My blog aesthetic has changed SO much since I first started on here.

I remember first making this page and being your typical college tumblr girl. Then came my NSFW DDLG/kitten play phase - fun fact still love that shit but I just need to keep that to myself at times 😅. Now I’m just this weird rainbow haired witch kitten with too many thought to keep track of.

Since I’m still being weird and confused about life here’s a drunk selfie before my Webster spiral last Saturday 🖤

Self Portraiture - Who am I? - Research:

1. Richard Avedon

Born on 15th May 1923, Avedon grew up to influence America’s influence on beauty, style and culture. Throughout Avedon’s 81 years of life he worked as a photographer exploring fashion and self portraiture stating that ‘My portraits are more about me than they are about the people I photograph.’

I found this image inspiring due to the insight that it gives on Richard’s life. The image encapsulates into Avedon’s life and daily routine - working in a studio. Additionally, the image above captures his style of photography and his own personality. Personally, I am also drawn to this image becuase of it’s composition, the foreground of the image (Richard) is very clear in creating a focal point in the image with the background being appealing but not distracting from the focal point. Lastly, I love the balance of contrast in colour, it is simple to separate the two subjects in the image due to the greys and whites.

2. Robert Mapplethorpe

One of my personal favourite photographers is Robert Mapplethorpe. An American photographer, Mapplethorpe explored black and white photography exploring male and female nudity, self portraiture and floral still life. His photography grew popular through the 60′s and 70′s due to the controversy of the images he was producing. His erotic work proved too harsh and disrespectful to many.  In his later life, Mapplethrope worked on still life often shooting still life of flowers before passing away due to HIV/Aids complications in the late 80′s.

I love these shots from Mapplethorpe as they really show his diverse, edgy and rebellious character. The images above clearly capture his personality. I selected the first image from Mapplethorpe as I am drawn to how the knife adds to the image to create a sense of danger. It shows that Mapplethrope is not afraid of being rough - a key feature throughout his work. Furthermore, I selected the second image as I really like the posing of Mapplethorpe. Without really seeing his face, we are still able to see that he is clearly frustrated and tired from whatever he is doing. This is due to the exaggerated arched back.  

Finally, I really really like the adaptation of Mapplethorpe’s self portrait that Matt Healy, lead singer of the band ‘The 1975′ created.

3. Jo Spence

The Final Project by Jo Spence was created in 1991 after her diagnosis of leukaemia. The project involved Spence battling with her deteriorating body pysically, mentally and emotionally. She worked up unit her very last days until she tragically passed away in 1992. To help create this project, Spence used props such as doll masks and skulls to create deathly images that reflected her illness taking over her body.

From her series of images, this is the photo that sums up The Final Project perfectly. Above we see the double exposure of Spence and a skull. We can see a simple headshot of a woman who seems saddened, the skull is then placed on top of Spence to emphasise that she is severely ill. To add to this, I chose this image as it provokes sadness, you just can’t help but feel bad for Spence as she is physically seeing her body change and breakdown. The image also shows her bravery in staring death in the face and sharing how documenting her illness can give an insight on what it is like to become terminally ill.

4. Matt Bernstein

Well known as mattxiv on Instgram matt is as a make-up artist and photographer. His work is oriented towards the LGBT+ community and regularly posts about equality in today’s society fighting queer phobia, misogyny and discrimination. 

These 2 images are just a few among some of my favourite work from Matt. One of my favourite aspects of his work that I am really drawn to is how he does not conform to gender binary’ and tackles toxic masculinity throughout his work. The images I selected strike a clear message which the viewer is instantly drawn to. Additionally, I love how Matt does not always share his work through a typical self portrait, much of his work is created on his arms, chest, legs, chine, etc. In my opinion, this is what helps his work stand out more than other photographers.

5. Sorelle Amore

Sorelle Amore is a Australian based travel photographer. Her work consists of self portraits and landscapes. Amore has grown extremely popular on Instagram and youtube with branding herself as the advanced selfie queen.

Personally, Sorelle Amore is one of my favourite photographers. I really like her photography and editing style. The images above are a few of many from a video done on her youtube channel showing how to capture amazing self portraits. I love these images because of how they help tell a story. The moodyness from the black and greens helps develop the warrior like character by creating some mystery (e.g warrior hiding in shadows, hunting...). As well as this, I am drawn to how different the poses are in each shot which provokes a different mood in each image. Finally, I really like these images because of the location. Shooting in the forrest brings out personality in the photographs as we learn more context about the shots.

Who am i?

Hunter or Hunted? Ch.1

*gasp* I awoke in shock, my hands quivering and my body shaking violently. Gravity had taken control of me, tears streaming from my eyes. The pool of emotions flooding the back of my scalp.

A pulsating burn on the palm of my hand.. I managed to turn my face to the side to investigate the pain.

I lay there, motionless now. Shock took over my body in a moment.

“ a knife? “ I managed to whisper through my coarse, dry throat.

Dry blood had been frozen against my skin. It had glued my fingers to the dirty, musky carpet.

How long had I been here? What had happened?

Wait...

“Who was she? “ I mouthed slowly as I fell back into unconsciousness.

Who Am I?

I see myself as a quietly confident person. I based my theme around this idea and incorporated the colour yellow to symbolise the confidence. 

I wanted to show my shy side in my self portrait. I did this by taking half of my face out of the shot and looking down, I quite like the composition this created, the ‘S’ like curve of my hair with the addition of the flowers also makes it quite feminine.

My location image shows one side of me that enjoys my own company. I used the colour yellow and white flowers to connect with the theme. The light in this image is also quite soft which gives the impression of calm.

My more outgoing side is seen in my object image. I wanted to show some everyday objects as I think it can really let you in on someones personal style and tastes. The flowers and use of yellow are used again to tie it all together. The light in this image was coming through the blinds and created some really harsh shadows. I then added a long mirror to the left of the set up which filled some shadows and created some more on the other side of the object. I quite like how this worked out in contrast to the softer light in the location image.
