Work on silhouettes.
Take more nature silhouettes.
Juxtapose nature portraits vs. self portraits.
Explore how female sexuality is viewed through poses.
Shift to all portraits to nature???
These Silhouettes are nicely rendered, and the nature shots are quite compelling. Don't get frustrated. I think that Jenna made a good point in class: the figures in your portraits take on suggestive poses. This may or may not be intentional, but perhaps you want to experiment further with portrait and the silhouette. What are some other poses? How can you control the lighting? How can you vary the shots? What do you want to communicate with your viewers? I have no doubt that you will make a beautiful and thought provoking book. The beginning of every process always is about asking questions and concentrated looking.
