The Untied States Military Experience
September 29th, 2009
I want to explore the military experience in 4 stages.
Stage 1: Taking images of soldiers from the back, portrait style of soldiers who have within hours just joined the military. His influences take portraits of people as studies and then it is presented in a grid fashion. They are originally being photographed from behind because Neil’s experience in the army; he stood in formation always looking at guy’s heads from the back.
- Originally he wanted to make extremely large prints, but instead is reconsidering the grid format.
- Their shaved heads represents loss of identity and unification.
- Wants to do a recruitment video of the first part.
