In order to make this image appear as if it is in complete darkness I increased the contrast and decreased the brightness on photoshop and then adjusted the whites & blacks in Lightroom. I used a computer screen to hold the image to create the reflection and I coloured out parts of the computer using the clone stamp tool to create complete darkness.
I took this photo with a Go-Pro attached to a beam in the ceiling. I has to rotate the image in order to make it more symmetrical and I then had to readjust the colour, clarity and contrast in order to make the image look more like my other two final pieces from this shoot.
This is the final photo in my sequence, so I made it B&W to amplify the emotional effect of this reflection of charlie. I kept the mirror reflection yet I removed charlie from the image to emphasise a sense of disconnection from himself.
For this image I have increased the saturation to greatly increase the vibrant colours within the photo. I was aiming to create a sense of joyfulness in this picture as it is the only photo that I believe holds a connection between childhood and young adulthood in relation to my subject.
I wanted to compare these two images side by side as I am trying to draw emphasis to the unhealthy habits that form due to peer pressure and ‘lad culture’, however I also wanted all my images to have a full bleed across the entire page so they can be viewed in as much detail as possible.
