I really like these images, in many ways they remind me of the series "June Street' by Daniel meadows and Martin Parr. As much as the photographs capture the personal relationships the ventriloquists have with their dummy's, they also become a study of lifestyle and interiors.

This images really reminded me of some work I saw a while back.

" 'How can we forget the scent of dolls? A smell of plastic mixed with vanilla, with an after-taster
of Roberts talcum powder, that enchanted you at the first encounter.
You felt you could eat them. Now, years later, you find the same faces here.
They look at you with the same big eyes.
They talk, laugh, dance and joke....like children. Because that’s what they are.
Children we ask too much of, to be perfect, like dolls.
Children who have become sons and daughters of perfection,
pretence and image, manipulated by the media and the social context
and who are inevitably losing their naturalness'.
Exhibited in Los Angeles (2010), London (2009), Seoul (2009) and Milan (2010, 2009)."
(Winkler + Noah, is the collective trade mark/brand name for two collaborative
Italian photographers.)
I want to incorporate this idea of puppets/dolls in my final image to
represent the idea that we are all controlled by society in terms of how
we think we should look.

I stumbled upon a photographer named Michael Oswald

His work is a perfect reference point for me, he uses photoshop to create what he calls
"robo puppet women"
