Body Distortion

As many of the individuals I have been working with see themselves completely differently to how others perceive them, I decided to create a distorted photoshoot to portray this idea.

Each of the subjects stood infront of a distorted cardboard mirror, displaying the part of their body they do not like.
The majority of body part sincreased in size, resulting in an 'oversized' illusion, looking rather big and wobbly in specific places.

The photoshoot was quite comical as the subjects could see how emphasised their shapes were, even though they knew they didn't look that particular way, however they do see themselves a lot larger than what they actually are.

The subjects were laughing as they could see the strange even 'grotesque' images from a different angle to where I was photographing them.
