RUNNING A SOCIAL EXPERIMENT BASED ON EMOTIONS

Hi everyone.

So as a project for a Master's discipline, I'm running a social experiment about emotions.

Here's what I did!
Gesichtsausdruck/Gefühl is a social experiment where all subjects are sitting on a chair, in the exact same position, under the exact same light, without being aware of the purpose of the session.
One picture is taken, after a few minutes in an uncomfortable silence.
The purpose is to capture the essencial emotion that every person is going through.
I asked these people (also known as friends) to sit on a chair and "wait until I'm done with regulating the camera settings". They sat down, intrigued with the whole thing. While I was "setting the camera ready" they were left there, and their emotions emerged almost immediately.
The picture captures the subjects all the way to the knee, and for a simple reason: your posture tells more about you than you can imagine. At first everyone sat straight. A few minutes later they let loose, and started unconsciously sitting in the way they actually felt like sitting.
Even though they're all facing the same way, in the same position, under the same light, and were given the exact same instructions, all results are surprisingly different.
Same expression. Different emotion.


You can find the final result here:

Send me your thoughts about it!

MY INTERVIEW FOR 6 PINS IN A SHOE!



Hi everyone!

Before I start writting anything, happy new year!! I hope you had a blast of a time!


So let's start the year the best way shall we?
A little bit more than a month ago, this super sweet full of style girl sent me a lovely message on lookbook, regarding an interview! And I immediately said yes, of course! She sent me a bunch of questions I was extremely pleased to answer! And, as my huge surprise, she released it on the January 1st!

Here's the link If you're interested in reading it:

This is my second interview of all time, the first one was for Central Magazine by Central Models, and as curious as this might sound, even though the questions were not exactly the same, I had the same nervous joyful feeling of having someone interested in sharing my personal experiences and stories! This is such a rewarding feeling! And, as you can assume, I was extremely pleased with the final result!


So go ahead and and take a look at her blog and all of her other previous interviews (send her some love as well, will ya?)!

And, if you've read it, leave me a comment with your opinion! I would love to read your thoughts about it!


Rock on,
B
