I actually love your idea!. I did something similiar myself when in art school!. I got an A!. Offer to buy him/her lunch and really get to know this persons struggles then go do your photo shoot!. Remember try and capture photos that would depict the persons personal struggle in some way!.
I think you already have a good idea now run with it!.

I agree with this idea too!. It's great!. Don't be afraid of being robbed!. Homeless people are PEOPLE too!. I think as was offered by another suggestion, feed the person you want to focus on!. Maybe you don't take money or a lot of valuables!. Decide on 5 specific issues to photograph, such as where to sleep, or to use the bathroom, food, safety, work, friendships, etc!. Start early, end late!. Show a complete cycle or show 5 specific human needs or issues!.

Be aware of your surroundings, but don't let fear stop you from being a great photo journalist!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like your idea too!. I'm a member of the Technology Student Association and our topic last year for the competition was "Technically Speaking", which I thought was a cute topic!. People took photographs of phones, computers, cars, keyboards, and cameras!. It looked really cool!. The best one there though compared a live thing with its technical counterpart!. ie!. an eye with the lens of a camera and the pic was taken in such a way that they looked similar!. Maybe you could do an essay on the impacts of technology on modern life since you only have 5 pics to work with!.

Good luck! Hope this Helps!Www@QuestionHome@Com

The only thought that comes to mind is about the 'many hats' a person can wear!. I mean, someone who is a nurse, a mom and soccer player!.!.!.
The idea is to take a picture of the same person in the same living room wearing the three (or 5) different outfits and then clone the pictures using photoshop similar to the following

Hi

Started thinking of the "Five-a-Day" that is being spouted everywhere you go to try and get fat British slobs to eat healthy food!. Started by thinking of things to do with the number five, and that came to mind!.

Then I thought you could take interesting snaps related to the food production of those fruit and veg in the countryside near you- it could be in the orchard or field, or in the factory, or packing plant, or supermarkt!. Or you could follow one item through it's journey from tree to shop!.

It's only an idea, but that is what you asked for!.

All the best!Www@QuestionHome@Com
