My photography shoot ideas

My 5 images have to represent different parts of me that i have Chosen to express

An African's Pride
This is the part of me that very few people know about i will use my african pennant and clothes to express my pride for my country and my royal heritage

The Poets stress
I have shown glimpses of this side my creativity in my writing will be expressed through the hat that i wear and the note pad ill be holding

The beginning of an athlete
I will dress up in my basketball gear and use my basketball and sport Jersey and medals as props

The gentalman
Nobody knows this side to me but i teach i share the knowledge i have a shirt and pen shall be used

Mother africa
This image will be the last imagie in my 5 peices i won't use any physical props the only prop will be my joy in my smile or maybe even one of my baby photo's because i still have a child heart i love to smile watch cartoons joke and even forgive and forget but also it shows my innocents as a baby

Every peice has a line of a poem in it and they are all untimely one piece

How does a prince reflect his roots?

Roots grow in different forms and are manifested differently

Learn from your roots and grow to teach others

Speak poetic parables into the lives of thoes who depend on you

Charity starts at home history and pride are reflected from your beginning so know them

I Took inspiration from two artist's Samuel Fosso And Omar Victor Diop Two African Photographer's that mean alot to me because of the way they express there art and what they use in the style of photography i combined the African print of Fosso and the portrait style of Diop and Made 5 portrait root reflections of me of my life in reverse starting from my most mature state of my wearing my African Native clothes to me in my suite and bow-tie and then me as a stressed poet trying to learn how to express myself my thoughts and feelings after that comes the last photograph and its a Photograph of a photo featuring me asleep as a baby being held by my mother to show wear everything starts my life from the beginning not knowing anything being completely relaxed and at peace with life also my Blue pendant is featured as a chain in every photo showing that i wear africa on my chest as i embrace and show it off in my first Photo to it being put on a heart around and  me in my last photo with my mother holding me literally meaning mother africa with my mother in the photo and the african pendant around the image of me and my mum

I Also formed a open broken down to one or two lines that i will read per image this shows my development as a poet my skills in creating and directing imagies and my pride in myself in all forms collectively i have named the imagies the Five Roots  Of Me they all show different sides of me that i have shared and expressed differently through things and art forms that i have embraced they all shape who i am i am proud of all art forms i also embrace my mother to me she is art she is poetic she is african she does teach she is gental and her and my father created me they are my beginning

I really loved doing this project i have to thank ann and daniel for helping me so much

this project taught me so much about taking my time in what i chose to create and shooting something more than once this photography project was tough because i wanted it to mean something since i was looking inwardly at my past and these characters and or images define me
