For The shoot I decided I would go to a beach and take the images submerged within the water in order to produce the effects of finding a truth or a identity to ourselves that we don’t present to others,A complex human behavior and searching for an identity. I went to a local beach and stood over my subject and took the images creating the lighting how I wanted, I wanted to also take image in which I could edit together and form interesting dynamic scenarios as if she is escaping the water.I wanted to also possibly catch reflections of frees and how it develops and creates a from and suture to the water and creating a mystery to where she is and a story to how and why she is there.

Edits and editing:

This image is one of my best due to the movement of the water can be seen but still the main focus is on the face which is surrounded by the water itself, it presents no emotion and lack of feeling throughout the images decided to to edit it complete black and white so it still has a prelatic element. Although it is not all completely in focus it still presents my themes of human behaviour and additionally has a string relation to that of my artist.

To edit my images I wanted to lower the saturation and higher the contrast in order to exaggerate the tonal sections to the image,These edits are more successful due to the larger focus on being submerged by water and also they show my themes of mystery to why she is there and submerging her emotions and human behaviour so she has a loss of identity.Additionally there are also strong conventions of the power of nature throughout these images and the strength the water has to effect her emotional behaviour.

I once again overlapped images to form more textualised background of the sea and or to cover my subject by a wave,addtionally I also edited the images to form a distortion and present a cover of herself and repetition of her being.

Unedited images:

Within the last thee images they are a lot more bare and the figurative formation and place of the body is what shows the themes of how we behave depending on what position we are put in,or the abstract way in which our mind conventionally works.
