I also had a bit of down time and watched the new Macbeth film (not because im too lazy to read it). It managed to get the cold bluey atmosphere of Scotland down right, i also really liked some of the costume and makeup design with not only Macbeths facepaint but Lady Macbeth and the other women having these light blue stripes across their eyes.

Ive had a bit more of a think about the characters i want to create and i think im getting somewhere with three characters based around Scotlands bloody history, what people think Scotland is and Scottish stereotypes and the harsh reality of being a woman in Scotland today. I think im going to use a combination of rural and urban landscape mixing those two sides of what Scotland is.
On my trip up to Aviemore i just by chance bought the latest copy of Love Magazine. Its a really artsy British visual fashion mag that has these big editorial fashion stories one of which was based on Heironymous Bosh's The Garden of Earthly Delights by Tim Walker. So im considering maybe making a magazine type thing to display several images. Something ive noticed is that this magazine seems to have less sexualisation of the naked female body or depictions of women as victims as the big name mags like Vogue.

Ive also been told to think about creating some kind of video or moving image to go with my photos, I would like to do this but it depends on how much extra work its going to be overall. Ive had a look at SHOWstudio which is like the home of fashion film.
In this coming week i want to have my three characters fleshed out a bit, to be thinking about exactly how i want my photos to look and the feel of them in order to create a connection with my audience and maybe get out Scouting locations at the weekend.
