Eric Shih Proposal

People all over the world attend parties, go out to clubs, and other social gatherings. More than likely people dress up in order to look nice and impress others. Everyone tries their best to look their best through the night. However, sometimes the night can get rowdy. In which, at the end of the night, people no longer look as pristine and presentable as when they first went out.

For this assignment I would like to construct portraits imitating the post party appearance. Normally people like to be photographed when they are at their best, and sessions set up so the subject is presented in an aesthetically pleasing manor. I would like to capture the opposite. I would like to capture people when they aren’t in that pristine state.

I will be taking head on portraits to expose all the facial features and details of the subjects getup. In addition I will be taking pictures of the subjects going about the night in which the scenes will be planned out and set up, so it will not be 100% natural/spontanious
