So far, I think this has been my favourite photoshoot overall because it was fun and creative, and it shows a clear connection between the female subjects. In this photoshoot, I focused on the reality of party life, creating a mood of intimacy between the girls. I also tried to include a theme of depression through the impact of social media and how it affects girls when they’re with friends/ going out.
Edited photos: Coloured images
I have chosen my few favourite images out of the whole photoshoot, and edited them to portray the narrative I was aiming for. I wish for these images to convey sensuality and intimacy between the girls as we see they are closely positioned together.
Black and white images:
For these images, I wanted to present a depressing, lonely feeling as the subject appears to be drunk and dejected. I wanted to present the subject as drunk so it reflects the rebellious side of teenagers, yet the impact it has on emotions. I really like the contrast between the light and dark shadows because it creates an exaggerated texture, which evokes the emotions within it.
Blue toned images:
As you can see, I have edited various photos which represent different stories and feelings. I decided to edit these photos in three different ways: Black and white, coloured and blue toned. This is because the tone of the photograph depicts the mood of the scenario. For example, the coloured photos show the subjects drinking as a group, representing a close feminine relationship. Whereas, the black and white images represent a depressing mood and could suggest that the subject is drunk and feels like this. Finally, the blue toned images represents the subjects having fun and shows the freedom they have.
Final images I will use in my photobook:
