PRINT COMPOSITIONS
These are how I wanted to present my final printed images. I have chosen to present them in a simple way because the images are very detailed and contain a lot of aspects, which I didn’t want to over do by presenting them in quite a complicated way.

This composition of 9 photographs (in a story board format) took a lot of time choosing what images work best together and where to locate them in the piece. I eventually chose these 9 in this order as I believe that they are well balanced and without going into too much detail the images found opposite of each other in the piece tell a story of how the subject is effected by it’s surroundings or how the subject’s surroundings are effected by it.

The second print composition that I have created explores a more creative portraiture aspect of the project through the use of typography and Photoshop. Although slightly worried about how the quality of the printed outcome would be the prints came out in good quality despite the intentional grain within the images. Again without going into much detail I believe that these 4 images balance each other well and are effective in implying the message of socially perceived identity.
Foam board
Finally this composition of 2 images is one that I believe shows my raw camera skills. I believe that the 2 images compliment each other perfectly due to the colours, composition and patterns within the images. And despite the 2 separate subjects I was able to choose the two with really well balanced fits (colours, stripes, angles) on meaning that when put together as one piece they would look even better.
I chose this image for my A5 print because I like how simple it is, it has a very neutral colour scheme. compared to the rest of the edits I did in this style I think this looks the best because it doesn’t look her edited. I also like it because it clearly shows the idea of hidden identity . It links to my artist reference because of how I have covered parts of the image in which my model has insecurities.
For my A4 edit I used the distort and wave setting, I wanted to imitate the look of the water in Laurence Demaison’s work.
For my A3 final print I chose this set of images showing rascal identity. I used the colours from each models skin and made a square in the same colour. I did this to show how 
Wang Wei is a fashion photographer based in Bejing who specializes in analog photography. Each of his photos are highly expressive and colourful. Wei's photos mainly capture realistic and completely unadulterated scenes of todays youth.
Wei's photos are diverse in themes of identity, some of his photos hide it through the use of blur, mirrors, light and shadow. Others express and exhibit someones identity in a photograph through the use colour and tableau. The use of strong colour on certain photographs conveys the strong personalities of youth.
This was my first and, by far, favourite image. I like the immense focus and the chilling stare of the subject. Adobe Photoshop helped me position the model in the center of the image with a large amount of black filling the frame. I aimed for this effect with all of my images, I wanted the dark to almost swallow my models – I think that this gave my images a more sinister feel and created a more mysterious atmosphere that surrounded my images. Due to this, the photographs also have a more minimalistic feel about them, thanks to the projection aspect the photographs are much more complex and interesting to look at. If I were to do this whole photo shoot again I think I’d try to take some photos with multiple models- with each of them having different projections and experiment with the different effects. I would also try to mix some images together via overlay and such.
This is my second final image for this subunit, unlike in the other two photographs, this image fully obscures the model’s face and features, This is because she’s looking away from the light source and into the shadow. It follows the general theme and what I was going for, the projection of the stars is very sharp and crisp in this image which makes it more pleasing to look at. 
This is the last image, for this image I chose to use an image of a tree with stars behind it. This way I was able to achieve different colours and play around with the placement of the trees in regards to the subject’s posture and such.
