I chose the photographer 'Vasil Germanov' to research and look into her work because she captured photographs of domestic abuse. This was one of my first ideas to shoot and allowed me to use different techniques in the editing process. Her work was also part of a campaign which made her photographs have a message and more interesting to consume.

 

 This photograph is showing domestic abuse through the make-up of a black swollen eye. This has been applied very well as it looks very realistic. The idea of this photograph is to show how domestic abuse damages a females beauty. This is because this photograph has been captured with all her makeup and hair done nicely to show the contrast of how awful the after pain is of domestic abuse. I like how the background is black to make the white font and the swollen eye stand out from the dark background. The red dress has also been chosen as red has conations of blood and danger which this topic involves.

 This photograph also shows domestic abuse and is part of the campaign to stop domestic abuse. This photograph has a dark black background to illustrate the dark and haunting side of this topic. The bruised cut lip demonstrates the pain that female's go through when they are being abused. I really like how the photographer has taken this photograph with the model to the right hand side of the photograph to show herself trying to hide from the pain. The weak expression in her eyes and face also shows the struggle that female's go through.

This photograph shows domestic abuse and is also part of the campaign against female abuse, These photographs have been placed in a beauty magazine to see if people recognise it or just except it. The cut on her nosed represents domestic abuse and looks very real and deep to show how much these females get hurt physically as well as mentally. The background being black shows no shadows and puts the focus on the domestic cuts from the abuse.

This photograph is a close up of a female model. The background being white makes her dark makeup stand out very well. I really like how her lips are the main focus and by wearing black lipstick as conations of dark, negative and haunting which shows domestic abuse in beauty. Her face is flawless and the lighting is very fresh and clear to allow her beauty to naturally shine. I especially like how everything is blurred other than her face to keep her face the main focus.





This photographer will influence me because of how real the swollen cuts and bruises are therefore in my work I will learn to edit them in to produce the same affect that these photographs show. Also the close up is very captivating and I will capture this but in my own way.

Overall I really like Vasil Germanov's photography because of the theme relating to my work very well. Also because of the editing of the cuts, bruises and makeup will help me with my work to bring a strong message that these photographs show.
