For this shoot, I wanted to use the technique of multiple imagery to show one subject but with different emotions; this is so I can portray identity in society and emphasise on how an individual can have a diversity of emotions or feelings, some hidden. By using this technique, I can portray my subjects in different lights with different personalities, engaging the viewer and forcing them to look at each image and connect with the subjects differently. At first, I wasn't sure how I was going to put emphasis on my subject's face and the facial expressions, which I wanted to highlight. However, as I progressed with my shoot, I found that a close up angle was the best way to do this - it focuses only on the subject's face and by using a dark background, I created a big contrast between the surroundings and my subjects, once again, allowing my subjects to stand out from the images and be highlighted.
Out of my shoot, I think this image came out really good. I like how my subject really contrasts with the dark background and how the light has been directly focused on her, lighting up her face, giving her a glowing skin tone. This further highlights the theme of identity and ensures she is the centre of attention in the whole image.
I like this image but I think it could have been better; I could have experimented with the lighting to make my subject brighter, which would have allowed her to stand out from the image. However, I like how the background from each image has a vignette effect - this ensures the viewer is focusing on the subject rather than the background.
In the future, I would like to work and experiment with close up angles; this will allow me to manipulate the subject and use lighting more, giving me a better idea on how to manipulate the lighting.
