My Idea

How I aim to approach my idea

When recreating ' The Awakening Conscience' I hope to take the photograph in my living room, using natural light coming through the big windows, as well as using possibly tungsten lighting or a metz flash to the light the subjects faces.
Instead of the piano that is used in the painting I will use possibly a television or a computer, that the man will be distracted by. Instead of the glove, which symbolises the womans fate I will have a high heel, which will symbolise whether she stays and carries on being his lover or leaves and becomes independant. Instead of the book on the side, I will use a newspaper, similarily to Annie Miller, my model will be less intelligant than the man and this will symbolise this. I will show her hand, but instead of having all her fingers with rings on, the woman in my image will have a ring only on her engagement finger. I want to dress the woman up in a black long dress, with a slit going up the leg which will suggest sexuality and possibly reflecting on the idea of the modern day woman and there attempt to be attractive to the man by looking sexy, this could be a modern day way of a woman keeping the man interested, instead of the original narrative of keeping Mr. Hunt by 'becoming a lady.'
