BODY: Concept

I have been really excited about this project, and with ideas about my concept, as the area of photography that interests me most is portraiture, beauty photography etc. 
My idea for this project is focused upon the idea of how personal portraits actually are, and whether a photo taken by one person of another can ever be an true and accurate representation this person in the photograph. 


My thought is to take myself as the photographer out of the equation and act just as the person taking the photo, I want to have as little input into the composition, directing etc as possible and ask the sitter to take charge and show me how they want to be represented. 
Another aspect to my concept is the idea of each person having two parts to them; One, the person they see themselves as and Two, the person they think other people see them as, and the idea that these two 'people' and personalities making up one person.
