This photographic projet involved choosing a profession that we wanted to explore. The main objective was to appropriate its codes, its symbols and to reinterpret them using the photographic genres of portrait, still life and architecture to create a paper edition.
We had to research on three different subjects ; I had a choice of pharmacist, dentist and waiter. In the end I chose the pharmacist. I chose this profession because I wanted to delve deeper into the subject of overconsumption and abuse of medications as well as the perception of health in our society.
To transcribe this abuse, I wanted to use saturated colors in some photos and, to create a contrast, I took other photos in a sanitized style to reinforce the feeling of discomfort and bring a disturbing side to my edition.
My edition is divided into 3 parts, each one is differentiate by a main color, the first yellow, the second red and the last blue. This allows for consistency and reflects the rigidity and structure of pharmacies in their architecture.
