For this unit I have been asked to produce between five and ten photographs to be showcased in the Millenium gallery. I have chosen to specifically focus on 'the identity of abnormality'.Concept Idea/ Costumes
The reason for this is I want to completely challenge the idea of what 'Identity' actually is, I will do this by covering the faces of the models in my photographs with black cloth.
I hope to achieve the effect of abnormality in my photographs mostly through it's content and a variety of camera angles. I shall mostly be using a shallow depth of field so that the viewer can concentrate on the models and general foreground.

Target Audience
My photographs shall be mainly aimed at 18-26 year old Males that will most likely be fans of Heavy Metal/ Djent type music and horror films because of the photograph's dark themes which I feel this type of audience would find more relatable.
I will also be targeting an audience that fit in to the BC1C2 categories of the ABC1 demographic system. The reason for this is that people who are enthusiastic about horror and dark music will likely spend a large amount of money on horror films, albums and other collectibles. This also means these people will likely have easy access to applications such as Instagram and Flickr where these photographs can be promoted.

Legal and Ethical Considerations
It is important to make sure that the content of my photographs is entirely legal and ethical. For example if I was taking photographs in a public area, it's important I do not capture the image of any strangers without their explicit permission. In order to ensure that my models are entirely happy with being a part of this photo shoot they will need to sign consent and release forms so that I am able to display their photographs in a gallery.
