After numerously researching iconic hero and villains I finally came to a decision on a portrayal intended to do. I choose to do my images based around to iconic and controversial people and use the public perception off them to draw a conclusion to which fits in better being labelled hero or villain ,there iconic images and controversial behaviour made it easier to do so.I choose to do Blondie /Debbie Harry as my hero and Madonna as a villain simply because Debbie Harry's iconic  image is based around being a women in rock music as well as being a fashion icon.Where as Madonna has created what could be argued either inspiring or negative image for herself because of the choice in clothing and music she produces i.e. lyrics which could be deemed sexually explicit and misleading as a suitable lifestyle to a younger fan base.My self portrait was the easiest of the three and i choose to express how uncomfortable i was with this topic by purposely cropping half of myself out of the image and the second image to consist of looking down .

This project for me was the one i found least enjoyable and i found myself putting it off as long as possible because of the uncomfortable feeling it gave of creating a whole shoot based around me portraying somebody else as either a hero or villain.Although when shooting i was in control of setting up equipment and organising the costumes i felt i had no control over the image being taken and found it hard to direct myself into position and although with help i was dissatisfied with the outcomes simply because it was not me in control and directing the outcome.I am not huge fan of dressing up and found the project awkward and felt unsettled at the thought of doing so. Id of much rather have been the photographer shooting someone else as a hero or villain it i believe that would have been a more enjoyable experience.

Self portraits

The two images above are my self portraits which out of the whole project had a good outcome.I felt naturally at ease because i was portraying no one other than myself.The positioning of the subject ie me in the photos was intentional to express my discomfort of self portraits.

Final hero images

This is the outcome of my hero shoot I'm am not pleased with the outcome.When reviewing and comparing these images, I think have i choose the least iconic image when associated with blondie. .I believe the lighting is wrong as well as the poor quality.Although the image of blondie  looks simple I found it hard to do the make up justice and found myself getting frustrated because I could not see any connection between the two photos other than the top she is wearing.After numerous attempts this was the best outcome.

Final Villain images

This is my final image for my portrayal as and iconic villain and again I'm not pleased with outcome.I feel like the is no connection to the original photo from the one i have taken.Again taking this photo proved difficult because general discomfort i felt in portraying someone else.
