The document provides initial ideas for a portraiture project responding to various artists, including creating a zoetrope with changing facial expressions, photographing someone through textured glass to distort their face, distorting a face using reflections and shadows to create an optical illusion, and creating an anonymous portrait by printing over a photograph with scribbles on acetate like Arnulf Rainer. It also suggests transforming a person using different props and costumes with a simple background, playing with structure, light, focus, color, and including photos in illustrated collages.

6. General Images for Inspiration SOME INITIAL IDEAS • Make a Zoetrope, but use black & white/digital portrait photos where the facial expressions change. Consider it as an animation. Look at the work of Eduardo Muybridge • Photograph someone through a series of textured glass windows focusing on distortion • Distort the face by playing with reflections, shadows and mirrors to create an optical illusion. • Consider how you can create a anonymous portrait - try printing a portrait but placing drawn scribbles on acetate over your projection on top of your photographic paper. Look at the work of Arnulf Rainer. • Using props and different costumes, transform a person. Stick to a simple background. Look at the work of David LaChapelle Play with structure and layout Play with light and projections Costume & props
