1. Extended Project.
Yasmin Murr
The idea behind my extended project is to build up my
own portrait book, based on Identity.
The book will contain mainly portraits of myself and other
people. I want to use a variety of settings and capture
natural poses to show people’s true colours.
There will also be photos of different costumes/ make up
on people.

2. Contents of the Book.
• Natural Portraits.
• Different Eras.
• Inspirations/ Impersonations.
• High Fashion/ Editorial Shots.
• Graphics Segment.
• Old Film Edits.

3. Natural Portraits.

4. Different Eras
I haven’t taken any test shots yet but this is what they’d look like.
these were from my boyfriends art.

5. Inspirations/Impersonations.
Test Shots.

7. High Fashion/ Editorial.
Test Shots.

8. Make up.
Test Shots: High Fashion; Bruises;
Paparazzi Lady Gaga Music Video.

9. Graphics Segment.
Cute/ Kitsch Graphic Design Illustrations
I don’t have any tests of this yet, purely because I’m
waiting for my graphics tablet to arrive.
I think that the illustrations of people and their
favourite things/ certain links we associate with them.
For example: Illustration of Myself.
Myself in the middle - Glasses; small pot of hair dye;
paint brush; camera; Mac laptop; iPod; microphone; love
heart; anything pink; hamish&lottie (my dogs); dvds/
logos of my favourite films/ things.

10. Old Film Edits.
This would only be a small segment.
Okay so these are really bad quality photos, because I had
to use my laptops camera to take them quickly. But I’d
scan old photos of people/ myself growing up. The photos
definitely have to have the film texture over them.
I could even recreate the photos in the present day.

11. Inspirations for my
Project.
• Mike Rosenthal
• i-D Magazine
• Dazed & Confused Magazine
• Cindy Sherman

12. So What’s Next...
Next I’m going to concentrate on getting a variety of
different photos.
I’m planning on starting to take photos of other models.
I’m still working on different styles of make up and
costumes to convey different emotions, people, eras etc
I need to start my graphic illustrations segment.
I need a huge collection of photos so I can have such a
variety and have photos to choose from, instead of having
not enough to choose from.
