Mock exam piece: created a montage of images. Need to print larger versions.
Final piece is a little repetitive however, the best images are definitely from the Lisson.

Take more portraits- at Winter Wonderland. Have a shallow depth of field so that the lights drop out of focus in the back ground. You tend to photograph from the same angle- look again at your photographer. Consider cropping close, looking up at your subject and down to alter the proportions / perspective of the face.
Perhaps the final pieces could be on light boxes or translucent prints on acetate.

Consider composition more. You tend to photograph from the same angle- look again at your photographer. Consider cropping close, looking up at your subject and down to alter the proportions / perspective of the face.
It would be great if you can visit the Lisson gallery exhibition, Everything at Once before it closes on Friday. Look at the images from the exhibition below- take someone with you to photograph. (https://www.lissongallery.com/exhibitions/everything-at-once)

You could continue with the coloured lighting but also use the projector to edit what we can see of the face.

I think you should return to the Myra Greene type of details and close ups of imperfections as the other approaches appear to offer too many variables. You could extend this to looking at the way clothing leaves a mark on the body. Look at this work (on the left) by Justin Bartels and click on the link. (The image on the right is a three dimensional tattoo!)

Make sure that your brief is clear- Are you still looking at fashion or could you look at capturing adolescence? Your photographs of your peers are good- it would make sense to make adolescence your focus.
Look again at adolescent projects by Rineke Dijkstra. Read this: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/27/rineke-dijkstras-portraits_n_1304744.html
You could also look at her film, Krazyhouse (http://dcist.com/2014/04/popcorn_candy_ice_cream_pilgrim_edi.php). Watch these clips. The one on the right is in German but you get the gist

This is a really interesting clip (on the left) that analyses one of the beach photos making connections to the Renaissance painting, Birth of Venus by Botticelli. Another potential idea to develop ie. recreating familiar compositions form paintings with adolescents and with a contemporary twist. Suzanne Jongmans (she has an ipod) in the centre and Hendrik Kerstens (impression of Dutch painting) on the right

Could you include more than one person? I like the bored look on your models' faces. Look at Hannah Starkey. How would the Buetti inspired technique work with more than one person in the frame. Would the text cover what has been left unsaid between the people in the image?

Does it damage us psychologically when we destroy something we find beautiful?”, “Which role does desire play in art?” or “Is there a ‘true’ nature?”. By taking the photographs away from their original context, the artist speaks about the emotional relationship between appearance and reality and reveals the omnipotence of the media in our society, as well as the vulnerability of human nature.
Consider what it is you are trying to show take a series of images that are focussed on the face and do not have a distracting background consider a dark backdrop with strong lighting on the face to create hard shadows against the features. Consider what beauty is and how you can change destroy it in the style of Daniele Buetti.Look back through images already taken and see if any can be edited

Where are the images you painted into last week.
Before you do anymore of that you MUST research, think and plan what it is you are trying to say.
Research Clunie Reid (Saatchi Gallery)- Why does she treat images in certain ways? Apply this to your images.
Look at the work of Daniel Buetti- piercing and branding.

A shame the images you have taken in support of your three strands don;t really meet your intentions. You may have to be more selective and take more images for each one in order to make an informed decision.
