These are a few of my favorite images that I have taken in the last couple of days. I have edited them in a way to make the color pop out, vibrant reds, oranges and gold symbolizing lust and power.This time I do not have a literal human being involved, Instead  I have just used artifacts, furs, lamps. jewels etc. A abstract representation of the struggle of power between the male animus and the female anima. 

These images are a little different from what I have tried before, as we can see literal flesh is involved, during my photo-shoots I have tried to stay clear from nakedness, wanting to portray domination, strength and power through as little "literal representation" as possible, believing that by showing the female form in such a sexualised way I will be going against my idea. However I like how these have turned out; I have shown just enough, but not too much. the audience will still have to wonder what is happening within these images. I don't think they are as strong as the images that I have used before, nevertheless I thought I would include them regardless and let people make their own mind up about them.

Whilst looking into artists such as Jane Burton and Anna Gaskel, I began to see a pattern of using a landscape shot to break up an image. I began to experiment with this, however I still wanted to have objects within the picture so that the audience will still feel a presence. I haven't decided whether I will use any of these photos in my final degree show, or whether I will use abstract forms (the simple photos where just the glimpse of the wig or lamp is present) to break up the more detailed images.  I will spent the next couple of weeks testing these different ideas.
