My initial idea was to take photos of plus-sized people who has a special passion, interest or success. I wanted to show how size doesn't matter when it comes to professionalism. However, I faced lotsa problems when getting peopl to be my model
So I came out with a new idea. To confess, I have no gay friends, so this idea is merely derived from brainstorming. I would like to bring out the fact that homosexuality is becoming more and more prevalent, they might be doing things that normal couples are doing. Some people in the society, like me hadn't come across any homosexuals. I hope to use my work to let them understand themselves: whether they are acceptant with regards to homosexual. For example, if they find my work being strange and ridiculous, means they are still notready to accept it. But some might feel no big deal, I guess they have accept the fact about homosexuality. I also included religions elements in some of the photos, to further explore the potential of homosexuality.
Jing helped me to send my photos to her homosexual friend. He's remarks are actually very calm and gave a very practical understanding about the photos. At least I know, it doesn't offend him.
To me, I am not against homosexuality. But after doing this project, I feel that homosexuality can become a norm. But it is still impossible for it to be "fairytale" like a normal couples' relationship. The items shown in my photos, I would feel it would be only considered romantic if it is done among girls. I guess this is my stand. Here is the series of photos!
