Factual: This is a photo that has been created by me,
and taken by me. I was inspired by Vee speers.
Context: I have never created a photo like this before,
it has completely different qualities to what my other
photo's have, we didn't use any props, but the way that
we designed the out fit, and how we used face paint to
create a zombie looking face.
Technical: This photo was taken using a Cannon power
shot SX500 camera. This is my new camera, and i was
testing it out whilst taking these photos. I am really pleased with the way these photo's turned out. They were taken in my bed room, in front of a light blue wall, and my white door. We didn't want a complicated background, because it is such a powerful photograph.
Aesthetic: I really like this photograph, and i feel like i have created a picture that fits in with Vee Speers's theme. I like this photo, because the main focal point is the zombie (Emily), and it is an interesting focal point, you feel as though you need to study it to appreciate the full aspects of it. We tried to make it look as much like a Halloween Costume as possible to fit in with her 'Birthday party' themed photographs. It also has a disturbing aspect to it, when you think of zombies, you automatically think blood, gore, scary and Halloween.
Factual: This photo was again created by me, and taken by me, and i was inspired by Vee Speers.
Context: This photo is completely different to the first picture i took. Again we didn't use any props, we just used ourselves and a camera to create this interesting photograph.
Technical: This photo was taken with my Cannon powershot SX500 camera again. I am really pleased with the way that this photo turned out. We created the shadow effect by turning off all of the lights, and shutting the curtains so that it was pitch black, then we shined a spotlight at the wall, and then sat on the floor and positioned the flash light so we got the perfect shadow.
Aesthetic: I really like this photo, because it show how lonely teenagers can feel, the problems that they face, but don't have anyone to turn to. Most teenagers feel alone, and in the dark, and that is what i was trying to portray when capturing this photo. The shadow in this picture has a big effect to the story of the picture. Different people will have different opinions on what the story is behind this photograph, but what i was trying to get across to people is that teenagers often feel alone, and don't know who to turn to. They often feel shadowed by other people, maybe more popular people in their school, people who they think are prettier than them, or maybe people who have bullied them. This photo was just to show that teenagers feel alone, and me and Emily chose to show this because we both know how it feels.
Factual: This photo was created by me and taken by me, i was inspired by Vee Speers.
Context: For our last photo, we used one prop which were scissors. We used these to show how people feel when they are being bullied.
Technical: This picture was taken with a Cannon powershot SX500 camera. This is a very good camera to take different photo's with. I really like how this photo has turned out, because we used the flash to take this photo, there is a glow that shines on Emily.
Aesthetic: When creating this photo, we really wanted to touch down on an emotional topic that effects a lot of teenagers. Self harm. Self harm is a big think in the U.K, and in many other countries, we wanted to make people aware of the situation with out going to in depth with it. I chose to write the words 'FAT' 'UGLY' and 'WORTHLESS' on Emily's face, this was to show one of the reasons people self harm. People self harm over all sorts of things, but the one that we wanted to focus on was bullying. When people get called names that put them down, it makes them feel like there is no way out, so they cut and hurt themselves because they feel like they deserve to be hurt. We used scissors as our implement because it is a more subtle object than knives or blades, and we didn't want to offend or go too deep into it. You can see how she is holding the scissors, right by her neck, this gives us the idea that she is ready to give up. You can see the sorrow behind he eyes, the way she is looking into the distance, trying to find some hope in her future. This photo fits in with Vee Speers theme, because it has a disturbing aspect to it, yet a very true one, and we felt that it was appropriate to the viewers. This is by far the most powerful photo that we created, and my favorite one because of that.
