I have been looking into what sort of locations would be ideal for a photoshoot with this concept, and have generated some ideas from research which would be interesting to look into.
1) Woods - dark with a lot of shadows... brilliant for the despair side of the concept, this could conjure up a very sad and oppressive mood.
2) Forest - Again, dark and with shadows... but also with different textures going on, such as rocks, and perhaps water... I could maybe have the model floating in the water, this could represent drowning... maybe a little bit too dark and sinister though?
3) Underground - A messy, dark, dirty underground space could be representative of the patients mood... and maybe the fact that they feel trapped within the barriers of the disease... this would certainly add to the disheveled look of the model.
4) Street - sitting on the kerb? This would be ideal for portraying the feeling of loneliness in the woman in the story to the viewer/audience.
5) Scrapyard - This could be seen as metaphoric, and somewhat reflecting the patients own life. objects which end up in a scrapyard start their life shiny and new, and then either fail to work, or are misused and become faulty.
6) A beach at night - A dark setting, this can look very sinister, with the odd random lights on the horizon. Sand and sea could be included in the photos to create some interesting results.
7) A bedroom - Where a recovering patient will spend a lot of their time. This could be made very personal and items which the patient may need could be included in the shot, and the model could be made to look very ill and in despair and pain.
8) Hospital Ward - this might be difficult to achieve, with health and safety regulations in a hospital, but we could get some very interesting results... perhaps including hospital beds, hospital equipment, maybe stage a dramatic scene... there are many possibilities with this location... the only thing which worries me is if it might be making it a bit too obvious.
