For this session, I focused on the work of James Cant and decided to use the same techniques as him to produce similar images. This connects with my project of society as it looks at identity and concentrates on the different identities that an individual in society can have - showing a good and bad side to my subjects. This is done through scenery, facial expression and editing. Similarly to Cant's images, I have used a straight angle when showing the subject as an innocent and happy individual but a side angle when showing a rougher side, this is so that the viewer can connect with the subject and automatically understand what I am trying to achieve.
This image is my favourite from the shoot - I like how the first image is a huge contrast to the second. The first picture is very bright and emphasises the innocence of my subject, he also has a happy facial expression to further highlight his personality. On the other hand, the second image is rougher looking and I used a different background to match it with the subject's facial expression.
However, this picture has a similar background - this affects the image as the contrast between the two images is reduced. I could have also edited the second image better so that the subject looks more dangerous.
