Top 100 Photos- 1

The Face of AIDS by Therese Frare,  1990

I chose this photo because of the impact the AIDS epidemic had on the LGBT community, and I liked this photo also because of the raw emotions it lets you see. David Kirby is seen on the far left of the photo on his deathbed. He died at the age of 32 from AIDS. This picture was used in an advertisement from Benneton to raise awareness for AIDS. Benneton using the photo created a lot of controversy, people thought that they were capitalizing on the death of another person, and using this painful photo to make money.
Therese Frare attended Ohio State University, and was born in 1973 in Seattle.

1. The photo has the panoramic effect where the background is warped. I also worried about blocking myself or the pictures not lining up completely and shadows in the picture. 2. I am looking for a picture that has a even background/something that the images will be easier to lineup. I will also need some markers in the background to where I place myself to avoid blocking. 3. I want to do myself having a conversation with myself or me all sitting at a lunch table if it to work. 4. I want to wear something that is a mono-color to help me stand out from my background and look more uniform. i feel like a skirt could add some dynamic to the photos and give them a more relaxed feel for me.
