"Learn To Love Or Die Trying"

Spencer George. Learn To Love Or Die Trying. Sharpie and Prismacolor Pencil. 2015. 

This is a mind map for the word "passion". I used this mind map to plan the set of photographs which featured a girl putting on red lipstick with smeared mascara. In this mind map, I planned out the different types of photos I wanted to try in order to figure out what props I needed and how I wished to set them up. Arrows come off of the word "passion", which lead to different quotes, song lyrics, and lines of poetry that helped inspire the photos. The different drawings are tests of the photos I planned to take and objects that give light to the mood and feeling of the work.
