Fantasy Photo Shoots / The surreal

I'm exploring the concept of dream/constructed identities with year 11 in photography through a body of work they create on the topic "When I grow up".

A few photographers/artists we have looked at include Cindy Sherman, Yasumasa Morimura and Orlan in terms of concept, but visually/stylistically I want to show them these....

1. The Storybook Fantasies of Dara Scully  (also here)

2. The Surreal Photography of Oleg Oprisco (and here)

Ideas for [not so normal] portrait photographs

I am researching photographers for my Photography classes, focusing on identity and/or portraits, but represented in ways other than the stock standard portrait photo.

Here are a few....

1. John Stezaker

2. Superb Multiple Exposure Portraits by Christoffer Relander

3. Analog Double Exposure Photographs by Florian Imgrund

 

N.B. The effect of a double exposure can be easily achieved using Photoshop and layers/opacity.

 

4. Skull Portraits by Carsten Witte
