THE FANTASTIC FIVE

 Hi,

In this blog, I will be posting five ideas about my chosen theme which is orientalism.

I have immediately chosen this theme because I could easily use the knowledge I have from my Turkish culture in my project and I have lately been really interested in oriental patterns as well.

Idea 1 

The first idea that came to my mind is to have an amazing photoshoot in orientalism patterns. 

INSPIRATION

Emir Taha

Emir Taha

I got my inspiration from this Turkish singer called Emir Taha, he has been using Turkish orientalism backgrounds for his album covers which have always fascinated me.

Idea 2 

My second idea is actually a combination with the first one which is to create orientalism posters which I can later use in the photoshoot. 

I will be using patterns that are being used for our famous ceramics and turn them into posters by combining different kinds of patterns.

Idea 3

This idea is also a part of the first idea, something I can use for the photoshoot.

I want to add these oriental lightings to the shoot which will create an amazing touch.

Idea 4

Once again this idea is a part of the first idea.

Adding an antique oriental Turkish rug will complete the whole orientalism look.

Idea 5

As of last I want to finish it by adding a modern touch and create a world where history meets the future. I will be styling myself in modern white clothing for this shoot. The clothing will capture attention because it will be modern unlike the other elements however the colour white will cause the other elements to come through and still be the centre of attention. 

MOODBOARD
