This will be the first page of my photobook, its a sentence stating that its hard to see whats right in front of you, its a symbolic sentence to some up my whole photobook that a lot goes on in a teenagers life, in their head, the reality, compared to what people actually see. As i find it very important to focus on these factors as a teenaer who’s not always loving the school life and stress.

these pages are to show stress and school and how school affect things that are meant to be so important, like sleep, all teenagers are told to get 8-10 hours of sleep as it keeps you wellrested and ready for the day but from the pile up of work and stress sometimes we aren’t getting to sleep until late in the morning, it also demonstartes anxiety and being overwhelmed by looking at the mess on the desk of papers and tests and homework and so on, and its also a mess that a teenager might get told off for.

This page continues on from the school pages as it shows what sometimes teenagers would rather be doing and use as a distraction.

This is how I was going to first present this page, when I looked at some Jim goldberg pages and realise this just didnt give the right affect it needed something more.

I then moved on to this page of adding the rain next to the image to make it seem like when you look out the window like archiewas this is what you can see, as rain gives a sad affect and also its a blurred skewed image of what might also be in the head.

this image actually didn’t end up staying in my final piece because it was more of a practise of writing on the image and didn’t look as good or professional as I wanted it also didn’t go with my other images.

this was my practice last page but I wasn’t feeling it as the images didn’t go how I wanted and it was too much going on.

I tried to give a continous balck background to all my images to add to the effect nd make the images stand out, I thought it wet well as it was dark and gloomier, and corresponded well with the majority black and white images, I also kept my writing on the images or next to them to keep the story because yes a photo tells 1000 stories but it was important that the teenagers stories actually ame out and was presented, it ry to keep a sequence of how I present my images ina decently together story.
