Phobia Project

A. What is a phobia?
   an extremely strong dislike or fear of someone of something

B. List and define 5 phobias from The Phobia List:
     Alektorophobia- fear of chickens
     Anglophobia- fear of England or English culture, etc.
     Ichthyophobia- fear of fish
     Logophobia- fear of words
     Zemmiphobia- fear of the great mole rat

C. Brainstorm on your blog possible ideas for a phobia shoot:
1. For the fear of insectophobia (fear of insects) I would chose someone with the fear to make the photograph look realistic. In the image the person with the fear of insects would be either inside the house or outside. The scenario of being inside the person would have a scared expression of their face and them equating son a chair, so they are away from the bug. The scenario of being outside the person would have a squeamish face while holding the insect.
2. For the fear of cynophobia (fear of dogs or rabies) I would have both a person and a dog, or several dogs, to make the photograph explain the story. There are two scenarios that can be used. The first scenario would be a person who jumped on the couch trying to get away form the two dogs sitting in front of them. In the second scenario I would have my two dogs chasing a person with a feared expression on their face running away from the dogs.
3. For the fear of automysophbia (fear of being dirty) I would have someone with dirt covered all over them or just on the hand. In both these scenarios I would have the person having a disgusted or feared fave while looking at the dirt on them. With the photograph with the person with just the dirty hand they would hold their hand as far away from themselves as possible. With the person covered in dirt they would have a disgusted face while outside.
