For this shoot, we focused on mental problems people may face and addiction. We did a series of pop art themed images including drugs, alcohol and mental health. For each of the images, we used makeup to create a pop art look and edited in Photoshop using text to make them like comic strips. We have communicated meaning throughout this series by using expression such as tears and including props such as pills and alcohol to clearly show the problems throughout. We also used text, which links to pop art from the time, as it came from comics. This would attract a younger audience, as it is more modern than the original pieces, and revolves around problems from this time, rather than original comics. It also is more real due to the photography rather than drawing or painting, this also brings the images we created more modern.
can you include examples of vintage comic book imagery or specific examples of Lichtenstein's work and give examples of how you have referenced these in your own shoot? why is this meaningful to your audience? what characters does Pop Art usually show, what do they look like? what are their problems/how are they depicted? how have you explored or altered such perceptions?
