Where to take all this into my own photography.

I needed to pull together what all the photos in my photography were beginning to portray and how I could put a deeper aspect behind that for my photography AS2 work. Firstly, all my work idolised and orbited around ideas of freedom, nirvana, eutopia and teenage fantasy. So I would start my work off by looking at this, photographing it and trying to capture the same spirit of that captured by the artists I've studied. However, I will then go onto showing how this image isn't the truth. The theme I have then chosen is 'False eutopia'. Smoking isn't glamarous like it is in the photos, I could show a glamarous lady smoking on one side of the mirror and the truth is her reflection. Her reflection may be for example, an aged cancer patient. The freedom explored by teenagers can never truly be as easy as its depicted. There's recession and money issues. The cost of petrol to travel for example. I feel this idea will expand with more depth as I work my way into it.
