Manipulating everyday objects to convey new meanings of love, romance, and desire. The artist initially wanted to photograph real couples and contrast media's portrayal but found it difficult. Instead, the artist will photograph everyday objects, food, people, and plants in ways that associate new meanings related to love and relationships. Examples and influences from other photographers will help develop the project.

2. New Idea!
I have now decided to take photographs
of anything (objects, food, people, plants
etc) that can be manipulated from the
everyday to convey a completely new
association and hopefully connote the
meanings of love, romance and desire.

3. Initial Ideas
Initially, I wanted to capture photographs of real life couples and show the
opposition of this against the media interpretation of couples who are in
“love”. I originally looked at famous photographers who take photos of
celebrity couples and how they are represented and how the ideological
idea of love and romance is conveyed through the images.
I found it very interesting comparing some photographs found online of
real wedding photography and the photographs captured of wedding
photography that gloss the pages of celebrity magazines such as OK! And
Hello.
After careful thought I decided that It would be too difficult to capture real
couples in terms of finding people who would agree and also because I
don’t think I would be able to progress that much from shoot to shoot
because of limited resources.
