1ST SET OF PHOTOS
2ND SET OF PHOTOS
Covered
• My inten9ons when taking this photo was to capture, a woman who hides in their own world, a person who doesn't have the courage to reveal her real self.
• I was par9cularly inspired by Daisy Lowe photograph, taken by a very famous photographer, all over the world, named Rankin. This is because I think he had the same concept, as I do with the my photograph, which gave me an idea.
• The composi9on of this photograph is very strong in my opinion, because it’s perfectly balanced, it’s right in the center, therefore it’s eye catching, the is nega9ve space on right, and leY edges, in order to make the center stand out more. The is a very strong use of colour, it uses light pink colour to represent skin, which is quite pale to fill out the nega9ve space. That’s effec9ve because it has a strong contrast with the rest of the colours, like dark brown, for hair, and dark red for lips. If I were to reshoot this photograph, then to be completely honest I wouldn’t change a thing because I am perfectly happy with this outcome, it is exactly how I dreamed it to be.
• The edi9ng of this photograph was quite basic, I used all the primary tools to edit this photograph. To be exact I played around with the brightness, also the levels, used the curve effect, and the colour balance, at the end I’ve posturized the photo.
• I am also happy with the edi9ng part, and with out it the photo wouldn’t be as good, so Photoshop did help me create this concept and effect I was trying to capture in this photograph.
• In terms of the lightning, when taking this photo, I used flash light, also I had ` bit natural light coming trough the right side of the photo, and I thought that was a nice mixture of light, and I’m happy with the outcome.
• In conclusion I am happy with all the work and techniques used to produce this photo, I’ve learned a lot of new ways of taking a photograph, also learned about the edi9ng and how much impact it has on the photo as it can change the whole concept of the photo.

Experimental Photograph
This photograph was a development from my previous photo, it was an mixed media experiment, linking to Rankin's work. I[‘ve chosen it because I think that it illustrates the meaning of it in a perfect way, which I think Rankin was trying to do as well as me. I’ve used masking tape over the picture several 9mes, over and over again. I also love the strong colour breaking trough the gaps, which makes it stand out, and it grabs the viewer in. I leY the gaps on the main parts of the face in order to give it a bit of mastery, and a riddle, which I think might challenge the people a li_le. In conclusion I am absolutely happy with the experiment I think this par9cular photo was a great choice for this experiment, and I am willing to try it out in future.
