02/12/14 - GUY BOURDIN PROJ. (Concept Board)

Images from concept board - Caroline Wong
The photograph I chose evoked feelings of summer, be it in California or the south of France. With the blue background and red painted toenails coming into the shot, the atmosphere of the photograph was relaxed and easy, much like one would be on vacation. Because of this summer feel-good vibe, I began coming up with a concept and narrative that would suit such inspiration.

The concept for my shoot has come from looking into 1950's America as the post-war era is known to be the period that birthed the 'teenager'. With kids no longer wanting to be carbon copies of their parents as they hit sixteen, there was a real emphasis on breaking away and having your own individual personality and I decided that I wanted to channel this in my narrative for the editorial.

The images used in my concept board consist of photographs I've found and sought out as well as photographs that I have taken myself. I always try to use some of my own photography in my concept boards as I like to work with a personal aspect to a project. This usually results in a much better and thought out idea.
