Passions and Obsessions

[LittleRedHead]

Evening all

Looking for a little help here. I'm coming up to my final photography exams and have been given the title 'Passions and Obsessions' to work with.

Sooo, in the interest of brain storming, what do those words/the phrase mean to you? What images do they conjure up? What are your passions and/or obsessions? Are they one and the same thing?

Any ideas you have would be gratefully accepted!

Ta muchly

Brings to mind Heston Blumenthal-style food - perfect presentation.

Passion is positive, obsession can be destructive.

Passion is a type of fruit. Obsession is a perfume by calvin clien?

My current passion is a new bike, my obsession is fitting black bolts and fasteners to it....

Don't envy the pressure of coming up with good ideas for images. Not because it's difficult, but that I should imagine every time you come up with an idea there'll seem to be a different interpretaion come into mind that could be even better!!!!

Passion = couple first meet. Obsession = couple break up

A woman covered in melted chocolate. In an arty way, maybe black and white, maybe not.

Sorry but you need to be more specific - black woman and white chocolate? Or vice versa? What's the cocoa content? What temperature is the chocolate to be melted? Are there health and safety implications?

Great idea - love the idea of photographing food...especially if it means I get to eat it afterwards!

Tell me about it! Its such a wide 'brief', it could go in any direction. Passion is incredibly subjective and personal...

Passion.

I was thinking of a woman obsessed with chocolate. So it could be both .
