My vision for disguise was to show the real personality of someone and then show the personality that they show others which is their disguise. On the right is the personality that everyone sees on the outside, the happy, confident person. On the left is the true personality, the upset and depressed personality. The center photo is the life that that person lives, half depressed and then half trying to be happy. I communicate through my work by trying to show the disguises that some people go through every day. This corresponds with the issues of abuse, bullying and depression. I solved problems by finding a way to show happy vs. depressed using makeup, it was difficult because I am not a makeup artist, but I solved problems in that way. I also had a lot of trouble with the lighting because I wanted to shoot outside but it was very sunny so there were shadows being cast, I tried to find an angle where there was good lighting and not too many shadows.
