idea photobook
I'd like/ try to photograph graffiti / street art, but not in a common way. I think street art speaks a lot for itself and there are already a lot of books about street art, but often just showed in the same way. Thats why I have to add something to it. I want to show the influence that street art has on its environment and vise versa, the harmonic and disharmonic aspects. Maybe parallel to that I could place some pictures that communicate the feeling of "the unknown"- means: The people that act behind these grafittis and street art elements. I wont show them in a real way but in a mysterious , ghost like way. Because the existence of a street art artist means to work anonym and to be not seen by anyone. This could end up in a combination like: left page of book street art and right page an "the unknown" photo
.
first example for a combination:

I have another idea and I'm not sure which idea will be my definite story, maybe I'll work on both ideas and decide later.
My second idea: Photograph people (portraits of people) upside down (while making a handstand for example). Then Ill turn the portrait in the right/common position a portrait normally has. There will be a light deformation of the face what could have an interesting effect. The viewer will recognize that there's something wrong, but maybe not find out the reason at first view. I just have one example (internet picture). It isnt a good example, because i think the forming of the face is too soft but better pictures taken by myself will follow soon.
(I'm not owning the rights of the picture)
