Work diary- shoot 2

This photograph is part of my personal comment project as it represents homeless people who are in poverty. The reason I chose to use two of the photographs in the background and lowered the opacity is to show my personal comment of how people in poverty on the streets are invisible and society need to realise this. I also chose to convert this photograph to black and white because this fits the duel and sad life that people in poverty live in because they don't have any chances in life to escape and build a better life. To improve this photograph I could of changed the thin scarf wrapped around to a plain one because this shows poverty to a deeper level instead of showing style. This is the reason I blacked out the scarf at the front. Overall I feel this photograph fits in well with my personal comment project.



This photograph was also taken in the studio and represents poverty and homeless people. I really like the position Beth has been photographed in as it shows the vulnerability and weakness as she is looking downwards. This could represent her giving up in life. I chose to keep the colours in this photograph this is because the back drop of the grey background stands out better with this photograph in colour. To improve this photograph I could of taken this photograph not as close up to show her arms wrapped around her to emphasis coldness.

If I could go back and improve this studio shoot I would choose a different lighting and would take more photographs as this was my first shoot and didn't go to plan as I wanted it to be.
