I wanted to do this shoot as I wanted to show a physical representation of the end of life, and show the complete evolution of what is the religious embodiment of the correct life cycle. When taking pictures for this shoot I wanted to be able to show lines and texture within the afce, and then be able to further emphasise this using the editing technique I have used all along.
When taking the images I did so in front of a window and on the setting of macro so I was able to see a clear transparent representation of the skin itself, and have the clarity of the light to further enhance the photo. I didn’t want to specifically tell her what facial expression to have or what pose, I wanted to have a more natural presentation of ageing, I allowed her to speak throughout and ensure I could show an aspect fo life still within her. As there are only two indexical representations of people within my book this being one, and the other being the boy wrapped in cloth to symbolise the coming of death and lack of identity with body and personality once you have died, I think this shoot really contrasts and also brings a sense of emotion and vulnerability.

Throughout this observation I wanted to make sure I took images sectioned off to different places and areas on the face itself, I then wanted to crop and accentuate the areas which had the most amount of life and obvious lines throughout. My favourite image is the first, as the dividing from black to white resembles a really interesting and successful effective of their contrast between youth and age. it too symbolises a conceptual side of deterioration and the visual representation of slipping into death itself. Overall I think this shoot was successful and a good way forward to show the life cycle of youth.
