SElf-portraits
ROLE: Researcher, Photographer, Photo Editor, Event Designer
BRIEF: The CONCEPT FOR THIS PROJECT was to research three different to each other photographers with the particular focus on their portrait photography to then create the self-portraits mimicking their style and presenting my own approach to portraiture. The final part was meant to be the launch of virtual exhibition to showcase the created work.
I started with creating pitch presentation to briefly show my ideas to my tutors, revealing my final choice of photographers as Rankin, Tim Walker and Annie Leibovitz. By conducting in-depth research to point the characteristics of photographers’ styles and difference between them, simultaneously taking under consideration aspects such as the way of shooting, the kind of props they use or the choice of models, I managed to create my self-portraits, reflecting my personal interpretation of their aesthetics.
VIRTUAL EXHIBITION
The final outcome was designing the virtual exhibition titled “ Soak into the swirl of inspirations”, showcasing my self-portraits and providing the viewer with 3D experience.

RESEARCH JOURNAL “SOAK INTO THE SWIRL OF INSPIRATIONS”
I documented the whole process in detail by creating the research presentation which reveals my inspirations and ideas concerning my self-portraits and the final outcome of the virtual exhibition.
