I have been dying to do another personal photography project. Back in the spring I had the Equality Project in mind which turned into an enormous endeavor and was postponed until next summer. Now I am working with one model using the John William Waterhouse painting of Circe Invidiosa as my inspiration.
I chose a curvaceous young model. She still hasn't given me the thumbs up but I am proceeding with searching for my props and looking for a location. I want a clear glass or plastic bowl as in the painting- wide and shallow. I also need a dress of a chiton style or a fabric that I will fashion into a chiton type drape. I have a location in mind but need to visit again to be sure the landscape hasn't changed and the pond is not covered with green algae at this time of year.
I am searching several places for a bowl. I have looked online at IKEA, Crate and Barrel and Bed Bath and Beyond, Overstock ... I have also been looking in Lowe's at the lighting displays that are on clearance for a glass diffuser on a ceiling light fixture that could be used as a bowl. I was also searching for vessel sinks that may be scratched or special order returns for a low price. There are also a few garage/lawn sales each weekend plus Marshall's, Home Goods and thrift stores to visit. As for dresses I saw a possible dress at Target but I think I am leaning towards fabric fashioned into a chiton type drape.
In any case, I will be busy in my free time. I guess it won't be free time, if I am busy.
