Im also thinking for my figure in photography of exploring the human spirit and the frailty of us all. Inspired by the 12.12.12 project held recently in Manchester, I want to create images that intially look like the subject is in control and almos regal, but on closer inspection something in the photograph will set that off to make the viewer think about it twice. Starting a commentary of how humans believe to be the higher power and always overcoming odds, putting on a brave face for the world; but underneath it all, we are self consious and frail. Robert Mapplethorpe has this feel in some of his photographs, like his subjects arent actually as strong as they are making out.
