The exploration of the face

Within this unit my intentions are to simply explore the human face and all its wonders. With the vast amount of our emotions being expressed though the face alone, I believe this is a remarkable opportunity to apply all styles of photography into one subject matter. As said through the words of Eliza Farnham "The human face is the organic seat of beauty. It is the register of value in development, a record of experience, whose legitimate office is to perfect the life, a legible language to those who will study it, of the majestic mistress, the soul". This quote alone can reinforce the unique nature of the human face and how it can become many things; a symbol, a landscape etc...
Throughout this unit my desires are to adopt techniques used by portrait, landscape and still life photographers and artists; thus allowing me to exemplify the beautiful yet grotesque form that is the human face.
