It is interesting because when you are doing this assignment, you will find a lot of images or concepts in the advertisement are stereotyped or that we take for granted. For instance, only hot men and women can sell the fashion clothing, accessories and shoes; only men can buy diamond ring for women but not vice versa; only a man and a women with similar age can be together and happy ever after… The list can be endless if we have more time to think and discuss. These all form our preconceptions and the so-called “consensus” in our society. Anyways, what I mean is you really need to think outside of the box. This is also what we need to practice more.
Anyways, again, I have finished taking my pictures and want to say thanks to my models, Patty, Eliza, Rayji and Lindsay, and who has lent me the camera (I don’t have one), Cris and Andi. Without any of you, I can’t take any of the pictures. I am really thankful and grateful for all of you! Also, I want to give my warm heart to one of the greatest models, Yummy, which is a dog – a huge dog like a tiger.
Actually, I am afraid of dogs – I can stand with them being at the same room with me but getting close with me or licking me or nuzzling me is another thing. Don’t ask me why I chose a dog to be my model. I just think that it’s a good idea regardless of my fear towards dogs. What makes this photo-taking scarier is that Yummy is a huge and gigantic dog. Basically, at the beginning of the photo-taking, I didn’t dare to approach Yummy and keep a distance between us, as she might have bitten me. Nevertheless, despite of her size, Yummy is very obedient, submissive and cooperative - when her owner or I gave her an order or a command, she would do it. This made the process easier and I became less afraid of her. Or I should say I found her a little bit adorable though she’s really huge. I enjoy this shot, I enjoy this little challenge and I enjoy doing so. My fear towards dogs has certainly decreased too.
Due to the process of grading, I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to upload those photos but I will show you a photo of Yummy to let you all know that she’s really huge!
