What am I photographing?
In an effort to further develop my photo-book, Passing Youth, I decided I want to create a photo-shoot in response to the deadpan approach. With my initial narrative focusing on a group of young adults, I aim to photograph each of these individuals using the same format. I am going to place my subjects in front of a black background, having them face to camera directly with a neutral face.

Selection Process:
In deciding the most successful images, I picked the images with the best clarity. To do this I used the X|Y tool in Lightroom to compare, in greater detail, the quality of the images.
However, after placing these images alongside the remainder of the content for Passing Youth, I decided that I wanted the book’ narrative to become more revolved around myself. I response to this change, I carried out multiple photo-shoots of myself, capturing different angles, lighting and different body parts. My aim with these images are to give an insight into my character and by juxtaposing these with different contextual images, it gives the reader an understanding of the circumstances and different properties I’m surrounded by that have shaped my life.
