For my second photo-shoot for the Journeys and Pathways project, I will be focusing on the idea of representing the concept of being on the wrong path or journey, emphasizing the contrast between the subject and the location they are found in (showing that they are on the wrong path in a more literal sense).

In order to follow the theme of a subject being on the wrong path, I will be taking landscape images of different landscapes and environmental situations, and will be editing images of subjects (representing different professions and lifestyles through clothing) into these images, as if they have been torn from their original path and stuck in an out of context, contextually inaccurate environment. I will be using a photo-montage style of editing in order to achieve this, and the final images will look similar to the below image;

My first set of images includes all of the images that will be used as the subjects of the final images. These images are taken before the editing process, which will remove the background of the subjects, and will insert them into the correct environment image:

This photo-shoot will involve multiple locations and multiple representations of subject careers and backgrounds. For my first set of images, I compiled images to be used as the backgrounds. The following contact sheet contains all background images:
