These images were edited in Photoshop in order to represent the subject (as a victim) being hit. I think I applied elements of Daria’s style within this particular body of work, specifically the blurred effect. Similarly to Daria, I used natural light to produce this image and although It could have been conducted in the studio, I feel that this way adds authenticity and is more comparable to Daria’s body of work. I used a slow shutter speed to make it look like the subject is moving and away from the hand and I think it worked quite well. I think that out of the two images, i prefer the first one as some facial features are more apparent than in the other image. When I took the individual images, I composed the frame so that the subject was in the middle, however I adjusted this in Photoshop because I personally think it looks a lot better visually within the  rule of third aspect.

This image here was taken in order to enhance the black mark o the neck. This here represents the victims situation in which she was being strangled, and I created this black hand print in order to reinforce that. Although it is slightly blocked by the hair, I quite like the fact that it’s subtle yet bold. Something I could have done to improve this shot would have been to make sure that there was no shadow surrounding the bottom half of the frame.

This image stands as representation as the victim realized how bad her injury actually was. Although I quite liked this image in colour (because of the fact that the mark was red and therefore more associated to blood), I think it would look weird being the only piece throughout my body of work that was in colour. Nonetheless, I still think it is quite  noticeable that it’s blood and I plan on leaving it in the black and white effect. Compositionally, this is not the strongest of images that I have produced but I liked the context behind it.
