C. Brainstorm on your blog possible ideas for you Phobia photo

Chiraptophobia- Fear of being touched:
   
I would shoot the phobia of being touched and I would have myself, my family or my cousins model for me. I would show the phobia by showing a person running away from a reached out hand or maybe just someone on the ground backing away as much as they can from the hands or people reaching out towards them. I would shoot these images in public most likely, i'm not exactly sure yet but yeah.


Hylophobia- Fear of forests.

I would shoot the phobia of forests and I would have myself or a friend model for me. I would show the phobia by being in a forest, screaming and crying while knees on the ground or maybe just running away deeper into the forest without knowing so. I would most likely of course shoot it in a forest because thats the fear.


Isolophobia- Fear of solitude, being alone.

I would shoot the phobia of solitude, being alone and I would have myself or a cousin model for me. I would show the phobia by having someone be in the corner of a room crying to themself while sitting on the ground while still showing the rest of the room to show that they are alone/by themself.
