Seeking actors to photograph (Melbourne)

Another bloody photographer looking for subjects! Looking for a range of actors who are good at facial expressions. I am doing a photographic project where I plan to capture people's expressions of each of the 'basic emotions' amd jumble those images together into some sort of montage (probably themed along the emotion, but mixing up the faces). There are numerous theories on what the basic emotions are (many of you are actors so probably know this a lot more than me). Often these are broken into categories like anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, surprise and when discussing expressions in particular, the 'neutral' (mask) face. From trawling the web it appears to be becoming quite topical again in Psychology (my background) but more so Artificial Intelligence/Comp Sci with attempts to train computers to empathise. Compensation will be: - prints or web & print ready images on CD from the session; or - prints or web & print ready images on CD of head/character/other portfolio shots of you added to the session; or - some other sensible arrangement that you might have in mind, we discuss and agree to. Some of my photographic work is on my site www.dougosborn.net (requires updating). Shoot will be on location, on a weekend. Please contact via email: doug@osborn.net Working title of the project is "Plutchick" - an important theorist in this area. Thanks, Doug
