This photography studio shoot was for my project personal comment. This photograph is showing domestic abuse through the dark and sinister back drop. The bruises and black eyes have been edited from the burn and dodge tool this makes the photograph realistic and will create the viewer to sympathise with this serious theme of domestic abuse. The sign that I made has the quote 'He says it won't happen again' this is a very deep quote and brings out the thoughts that she is thinking but without saying them because in real life the women that get abused are to scared to escape and tell people what they are going through. I directed my model 'Lauren' do stand really weak and have a serious expression on her face this is to show no emotion and let the words show the message. I feel that this photograph is very affective and is framed very well making sure that darkness of the black back drop surrounds her. All these points above make this photograph very negative.
This photograph is also for my project personal comment and shows the use of shadows to represent domestic abuse. The action on the left is representing the abuse and what causes the pain, bruises and cuts. I positioned the arm to show as much strength and rage through clenching her fist and arm. The right side of the photograph shows the shadowing of fear and the action to attempt to stop herself from being abused .The actual shadow has been taken to show weakness through the vulnerability of the action. I chose the white back drop because it has allowed the black shadows to be seen better and stand out.
If I would go back and add to this domestic abuse should I would of taken photographs with written messages on her hands and photographs where she is hiding herself more. However I can photograph these ideas in another shoot.
