Composition: For this project i wanted the composition of the pieces to feel a little bit more candid. I mean the people would be somewhat posed but i did not want to change there back drop. This made it so that it became more personal.
Concept: My images are about peoples emotions and how they might be masked by a smile. We can often tell what people are feeling by there complete facial expression. At the same time someone can be smiling on the outside but their eyes may tell a different story. So having everyone cover up there mouth with the smiley mug it forces people to look to their eyes to find the emotion they might be feeling.
Method: In a previous project i took a picture of my sister holding this same mug. So this was the starting off point for this project. One thing that changed was the backgrounds. My sister was in front of a set background where in these images they are in their natural setting.
Motivations: I want people to be able to figure out what a person might be feeling based off the expression we might get from their eyes. I also want people to feel happy when they look at these images.
Context: I don't know that my images have a context. I mean i have people of many different cultures in my images. My images relate to how people behave in society. They may seem happy on the inside but they might be screaming on the inside.
