Alter Ego Atelier: Exploring Persona Photography

Embrace the 'safe space' of 'The Still Room' to explore different facets of your personality or even entirely new personas through photography. This is a chance to step into roles you might imagine for yourself, experiment with different styles, or simply play dress-up without inhibition. Create a 'character' for each session – complete with costume, makeup, and props – and document your transformation, using the camera as a mirror for imaginative self-discovery.

Why Try This

This idea offers a liberating creative outlet for self-expression, fostering confidence and playfulness. It allows you to explore boundaries, challenge your perceptions of self, and create compelling visual narratives that are both fun and thought-provoking. It's a unique way to 'try on' different versions of yourself.

Getting Started

Choose one or two 'personas' you'd like to explore. Plan out simple costumes, makeup ideas, and props that help embody these characters. Book your studio time, transform yourself, and then simply interact with the camera as that persona. Don't be afraid to be theatrical or subtle.

What You'll Need

Booking at 'The Still Room', your camera, costumes, makeup, wigs, and props for your chosen personas, a playlist to set the mood

Time Needed

3-5 hours per session (including setup/takedown)
