Photography Assignment

We had our CCS tutorial with Fiona Woods today and she gave us an assignment to find a magazine cover where the image had been photoshopped and create a second image that challenges the first image. I chose to use a cover from Italian Vogue. The model Fei Sun is flawless, her complection is porcelain. This surreal image brought to mind images of delicate eggshells or porcelain dolls. Since I didn't have a porcelain doll at my disposal I used an eggshell and painted a doll-like face onto it. I wanted to challenge the idea that perfection is as obvious as what is portrayed on the surface - outer beauty.
