My preliminary idea for the Human Form Studio shoot is based loosely on the film Jarhead. More specifically the final chapter, which shows the group of soldiers we have followed through the film in their regular life. While each character in the film was a solider while in Iraq, when in back home they are just normal people, with mundane jobs.
My idea was to show this through a series of 6 photographic images; based on 3 soldiers, showing them both in their Military Gear as well as their regular work clothing.
When looking into portraits of soldiers and war photography, Morgan Silk really caught my eye with very striking powerful studio portraits of US Marines. Which ties in perfectly with this project. However also looking at Don McCullin because of the famous and iconic 'Shell Shocked Marine' portrait.
