This photograph I took was for my personal comment project showing my view on domestic violence. I especially like the high angle I took this photograph at because it shows darkness around her eyes to show that she has lost her identity through the violent incidents she has had to suffer with. To take this photograph I used the spot light to create a sinister look to the photograph this has allowed the light to make her injuries stand out and this is what makes this photograph disturbing to look at. To edit this photograph I lowered the hue and saturation and used both the burn tool and changing the opacity and Gaussian blur to add hints of colour into the bruises. This shows the physical pain she has to deal with but can also be conveyed as herself self harming herself because of the distress of getting abused.
My second photograph I'm going to evaluate is the photograph I took in the studio. This photograph represents domestic abuse and the fear women have when the men become very intimidating. I like the way I took this photograph where Demi representing the women is close up and Josh representing the man is further in the background to show threat and control over the women. Where as Demi has more light shone on her to emphasis her facial expression of sadness and her bruises that have scarred her for life even if they are going to heal. This photograph was edited using the normal curves and levels but again lowering the hue and saturation and using the burn and dodge tool to get the different dark and light tones.
If I could go back and improve this studio shoot I would focus more on the photographs with both Josh and Demi as I only took a few where as the individual ones of Demi I had a lot of. Also I would of taken more photograph because my contact sheet wasn't as long as I wanted it to be to give me more options to edit with.
