This image was taken as part of my A2 Photography exam preperation. The exam theme was "Discord", i was experimenting with different idea's of discord to see which one i liked the best. For this idea i had chosen to look at portraiture, but to put a twist on it and to look at strange things that relate to portraiture, like this for example, the portrait of a cat, rather than the conventional "human" portraiture. I thought that upon hearing the words "portraiture" people would immidiately think the collection would be images of human beings, i was going to include pictures of Barbie, Animals, Drawings and Flowers. I thought this may mess up people's idea of what portraiture actually is, and force them to take the same discordant view as i had and begin to see everything as a possible portraiture. I came up with this idea after un-knowingly studying my cat over a period of time and realising that she has very human mannerisms and i could imagine her one day just simply talking to me. I didnt actually use this idea as my final exam focus as i came up with a different one that i felt was stronger, although i took some interesting images during the preperation of idea's period.
