The Hero's Journey: Planning

For the upcoming storytelling project, I plan to move away from my use of Photoshop and instead shoot on location this upcoming weekend in a setting reminiscent of fairytales. I would like to find a wooded area or go to a lake or river to shoot these photos. I'll bring a friend or two with me who I will include in my photographs, and I will bring several objects that speak to the fairytale theme. I'm thinking of using a key, a watch, a clock, and any other antiquated objects that I can find and photograph in an interesting way. This week, I will spend time photographing objects that I can find in a variety of lightings and settings in order to figure out the type of compositions that I aim to produce in my series. I will also research several common fairytales, stories, and myths to see whether or not there is one particular story that interests me that I would like to use as inspiration for my series.
