This project was fun, but I made it too photoshopped. The Aladdin figure was made using the photo on the box (a Leibovitz original) and a picture of the actor. I literally created the rest out of thin air using effects.What I like about all the pieces is their aesthetic quality, as they do look good. However, they are so man-made that I have not really made the message clear at all.
My main concept for these pictures, was to represent Leibovitz as a grand puppet master, or even just a celebrity collector - everyone wants to be photographed by her, and they will do anything - that is her power, that I tried to represent.
The final piece incorporates the pictures with an article, which helps slightly, however if I did the project again, I would go for much more real imagery, using actual photography.
(To mimic the poses I chopped up pictures of barbies, kens and action figures.
Can't believe there is actually a pregnant Barbie!!!)
Don't believe me? Check it out for yourself!
