Campaign Photography
Anti Domestic Violence Campaign.
The boy is wearing dark clothes with a black background, this draws your attention to his face and the dark colours are showing his emotions. The photograph used artificial light to create the lighting on one side of the face to create powerful shadows and affects. They have applied make up to his nose so it looks like he has been beaten up. In my opinion the message behind the picture is the boys mother got beaten as well as her son.
Other Ideas.
In my opinion the message behind this picture is that domestic violence does happen in relationships and if you don't speak up it could keep happening for the rest of your life. The movement in the picture is showing that violence will carry on in the future.
Anti Racism Campaign Photography
This is showing racism and prejudice towards black people, they used an innocent black man. They used the google search and placed it in front of the mouth because that's the strongest place, it's where you speak from and the image could be portraying that he is afraid to speak. They are using mean words to describe him.
My plan.
Location:outside.
Lighting:day light to get the skin tone.
Position:Close up to the hand.
Background: wooden table.
First Shoot
In this photo shoot I have captured different skin colours of peoples hands, which I will edit on Photoshop to create a poster related to racism. I will layer the hands and erase the colour to show the skin colour underneath.
In my second shoot I am going to use more resources like glue and let it dry on the hand then peel it off, whilst peeling it I will take the picture so it looks as if he/she are peeling the skin away and this will show that everyone is the same on the inside.
Second Shoot.
I have edited this photograph on Photoshop by using the layer and the smudge tool to make it look like the white person is peeling the brown persons skin away to reveal white skin under the brown skin. I wanted the image to show that we are all the same underneath our skin colour. I think this picture is successful because this was my first time using Photoshop and now I have learnt how to use it properly and the picture turned out to be what I wanted it to look like.
Final Shoot.
This is going to be my last shoot. it will be based on racism. I am going to change the colour of this black male.
