Initial Ideas For Plastic Shoot

I knew I wanted to do a shoot based on rubbish dumping and plastic bags. I thought this was very popular at the moment due to the new law or charging for plastic bags in shops.

INSPIRATION
My first initial idea was to add bits of rubbish all over the models body and face. This idea came to me from the visuals you see of swamp monsters. These monsters are consisted of all the rubbish and bad stuff you find at the bottom of a river or in sewage pipes. I wanted my model to look like a monster of the dump.

SIMILAR WORK PRODUCED
I decided to search if any shoots has been done where the whole thing is made from rubbish. I managed to find an artist called Leo Sewall who created sculptures made completely from materials found from the rubbish tip. Looking at this I found them visually appealing I really liked how the more you looked you saw other parts of rubbish you didn't initially see before.

I also found a photographer called Gregg Segal had produced a collection of images where there are different people surround by a weeks worth of their waste. The reason behind this collection was to highlight how much waste we produce and how much of this is packaging. These images were eye opening and really impactful in a dramatic way. I would like to try and get this result from my images.

MOODBOARD
After gathering inspiration from a range of sources I put together my moodboard on how I want the shoot to turn out.
