The poster

I haven't put up the poster yet, I'll wait until next week once I've had a chance to talk to all three lecturers. I did speak to Keith and showed him the poster and he seemed quite enthusiastic. He said no one has ever done it before at the college. Which could be taken as "that's too ambitious and nobody ever wanted to try it!"

I also spoke to a bunch of beauty students who liked the idea but said "we're still only doing nails at the moment". Which is worrying. Maybe that's 'cos they're still just in their first year though. I'm sure I can get a few people who are a bit further advanced.

A few more girls have been in contact on my Facebook page telling me they love it, so I don't think I'll have a shortage of models. Maybe they won't be so happy once they learn they've gotta pay for it! I want to finish the prints on 16"x20" fibre paper so the whole project won't be cheap.

Also, in class today we had an informal chat where we had to present our latest images to the group. I was very impressed with the work of two students who had used medium format; the quality was outstanding. So I think I'll shoot using that, IF this idea goes ahead. Medium format film is much more expensive than ordinary 35mm, so the cost to the models will probably be higher. Mind you, one of the potential models said "I'd pay over £100 to have a photo of myself looking like that"... hopefully it's not going to be quite THAT expensive!
