3 Week Photo Trip

Today while I was developing sheet film I had some time to think about what I want to accomplish on my next short trip to Thailand. I am going to Thai again in July but only for a short time the trip will be less than 3 weeks.

Because of the time limit I think I have to go the route of shooting something I know I can do. I need to have all the logistics figured out and just show up on the ground and start making pictures.

I have decided to do some ladyboy heads in color with the 6x6. I want to shoot the face shots up close and personal with some space around the edges. I expect to shoot with a slightly wide 65mm lens to creat some distortion and a flash to give the images the intensity and harsheness they deserve. The heads will be printed large on 15x15 Kodak metallic and matted with pure white board. If I get the work shown at some point I will use white framing also.

I will need to photograph 25-30 ladyboys which will hopefully give me about 20 good expressive headshots to use in my submission.

I can also learn more about these interesting folk and delve deeper into this difficutlt to understand sub culture.
