Portrait Idea 1
As I have a few ideas for portrait I thought that I should start with this one as I was Interested on how it will turn out. I wanted to get portraits of people with a Distorted face as you don't normally see many people taking photos of them self in a oddly way as I feel that the media has made people more Self-conscious of their appearances. So i thought about using tape around the face to change there Appearance. I got this idea from looking at the book (Face: The New Photographic Portrait) and the artist I look at was Douglas Gordon.

You could have combined similar looking areas and put them next to each other so it was almost the same place but they juxtaposed
