ideas, research.

for this project i have thought of a few ideas that i would like to persue.

Idea 1-  child as a puppet: i want to do a photoshoot of a child being used as a puppet to show that the child
is always being controlled by someone and cant always talk to someone else about theyre problems.

 Idea 2 - Child ventriloquist: for my second idea it is very similar to idea 1 but instead of puppets on strings its going to be a ventriloquist (the abuser) with his doll (a child). the abuser would be controlling the child in what they say and do very much like a ventriloquist and it relates to the nspcc posters that i am basing my photoshoots on as the children in the posters arent able to talk.

Idea 3- objects in a bad location: for this idea i want to do a photoshoot with no people in it but instead i would put childs toys and objects in a bad location to show that they dont belong there and that children deserve better. for example a childs bib near some garbage cans to show that some childs search for there food in the bins.

 

 Idea 4- child with a shadow of abuse: for this idea i want to create a photoshoot of a child cowering somewhere with a shadow of abuse of them, like a shadow of a hand or a person with intent to harm.

Idea 5- childs mouth covered: for this idea i would like to portray a childs mouth being covered in some way with hopefully a mans hand to show that the child isnt allowed to talk.
