Work Diary 8

This photograph is for my unit personal comment. The theme of this photograph is stereotypes and the particular stereotype I have shown in my photograph is 'youths'. I have shown this by the clothing of the 'hoodie' to symbolise the stereotype of teenagers and also by taking this photograph on location in front of a graffiti wall to  add to the stereotype of teenagers being rebellious. To edit this photograph I changed the curves and levels then added another layer to black out the models face. This was inspired by the photographer. The reason I blacked her face out was so that my personal comment of this stereotype isn't about her identity but in general. Next I created a different layer to bring out the colours of the graffiti on the wall by blurring and changing the opacity of the colours to make them look realistic and as if a stereotypical teenager has spray painted the wall which is stereotypically known as vandalising.

This also is for my unit of personal comment and shows the stereotype of teenagers through the clothing of a hoodie and the location of the graffiti wall. However the difference between this photograph and the one above is the angle as the one above is slightly low angle. Where as this one  is a eye line height which shows more of the location instead of the stereotype of a teenager. The reason I chose my model to not show her face and to turn her back to the camera is to hide her identity therefore focusing on the theme of stereotypes in this photograph. This photograph shows the negative view on teenagers which many people in society believe all teenagers are like. This photograph was edited with curves and levels to show the tones of the photograph as well as bringing out the bright colours through the paint tool. Then after this changing the opacity and blurring the colours to give them a spray tan effect.

This shoot was taken on location and was a successful shoot in my eyes through my edits. However if I would go back and add to this shoot I would of found different locations to make my photographs diverse and show different location that are stereotyped aiming at teenagers.
