Artist Research- Duane Michals
Duane Michals is an American photographer. Michal's work makes "innovative use of photo-sequences, often incorporating text to examine emotion and philosophy.
This is Michal's image entitled 'The Bogeyman'. It is a series of seven images that tell a story, in a similar manner to the series I would be looking to create. The 'villain' appears out of nowhere and snatches the child away. The villain is clearly distinguished by their outfit, and their body language. If there was a normal man or woman in this image who takes a child away, the viewer may instantly think that may be the child's parent. A ghostly figure in a cloak suggests otherwise, proving how costumes and make-up definitely creates a completely different view towards the audience.
