Ideas:

-       Body positions and gestures on bed

-       Primarily focusing on sleeply facial features

o   The original image of beauty supposed to be active and nature

o   Represents enjoyment and relaxed

o   Eyes closed

§  Counter-point: women with their eyes opened are often considered to be charming and beautiful

§  Example: Princess Diana

o   Disconnected/ vulnerability

o   Silence mode  linked to biology and body functions

I think I would like to take pictures of interacts between people. I love the tone that people actually putting smile to other people when they are speaking to each other. It is also kind of related to the pandemic period. Because I'm interested in how people can feel others emotion without actually see the faces.

A person using filter, face app, put on makeup

Nowadays, people or models put on makeup, or use the filter to make themselves look more confident of themselves, but actually, they look more natural and better with the original of themselves

My idea is to take the photo of children. As we growing up, the social pressure and peer pressure force us to present our beauty. Children are very natural to present the idea of beauty.
Photo of children:
- in playground
- laughing
- interaction with their parents

The definition of beauty is to feel pleasure based on other people or thing's quality. Feeling resonance towards a thing provides pleasure, so resonance itself is a beauty in my opinion. This seems to be a bit special and weird, and difficult to write. My plan is to choose an issue that will occur in some people's life, like cyberbully. By using photographs, I want to arouse the readers to feel resonant towards these issues. However, this is difficult to build connection between the photographs and the essay. Athena did recommended me an idea, which is to show the beauty of people overthinking something. This is absolutely better than my original idea.

Redefining Beauty

Beauty of Children

The Nature of Beauty

Although there is no specific definition of beauty, in the continuous evolution of society and media, the world still has some established impressions of beauty. And there is a certain consensus on the beauty of things. In fact, aesthetics itself exists in everything and different ways.

"Nature is beauty". Although almost no one would object to this concept, but both adults and children often forget it under the camera, and show the established beauty in their hearts with actions and expressions. The following photos take children as the main axis of photography, which respectively take pictures of playing and expressions that deliberately look at the camera. The interaction between children and the world presents the most natural and original beauty.

Unconscious Action

This is a photo of the teacher's son. When we asked him to look at the camera, he automatically waved and smiled at the camera, even when there was no specific instruction for the action. From this small action, we can see that the influence people have in society has been automatically internalized to show their most beautiful side when facing the camera. So when we compare to the next photo, we can see how much effect the change and relaxation in expression can bring to nature.

Moment of Relaxation

During the photo shoot, at my request, he would climb on the playground equipment. In order to capture the most natural moment, among the many photos I have selected a photo of looking at other people. This kind of moment of being attracted by foreign objects at a certain moment, rather than the moment of deliberately interacting with the camera, presents a relaxed expression and expresses the beauty of this moment.

The Little Girl

This photo is a much younger child. After she noticed the presence of the camera, the little girl would unconsciously look at the camera and start smiling while playing. In this casual expression, it is actually revealing the consciousness(laughing when taking pictures) that was instilled in the process of growing up. To some extent, this proves that there is an established beauty within human beings and influences people to present their most natural side. Even children who are not yet in school are potentially importing this idea.

A Momentary Natural Facial Expression

And this photo is a random shot. The girl is watching other people play. This kind of expression of sitting on the ground in a relaxed and natural posture, and focusing on things, can best show the purest and most primitive side of children. This kind of action and expression under the natural interaction with the society, the most successful expression of the concept of "nature is beauty".

How "nature is beauty" change the way we see ourselves and the world?

​

From the moments above when children face the camera and are attracted by other objects, they can see how the concept of "nature is beauty" exists between people and the world. In today's society, because of too much restraint and pressure, people will choose to package themselves with the appearance that the world considers beautiful in front of the camera or the public. Therefore, the redefinition of beauty through "nature is beauty" can allow the world to focus more on the moment of individual relaxation and naturalness, instead of the image that should be created for the public consensus on beauty.

"To me, beauty is natural beauty. If you're naturally yourself, you're beautiful."
