For this portrait series I wanted to capture the stress of test taking. To create as much stress as possible I made sure to give my friends a question or assignment in something I knew they struggled with, as well as putting them under a direct spotlight facing at them. I chose to edit these photos in a harsh black and white to really bring out the contrast so you could clearly see their stress. In Lane, his stress showed very differently to Emma-Grace's stress. While he was very expressive and you could read his expression easily, Emma-Grace stayed very focused attempting to finish her problem while looking stressed but less expressive as Lane.
Lane attempting to name all 50 states
Emma-Grace attempting a geometry question
This is a cool idea, I did something similar with mine. I just wish there was a little more shading and shadows to show the intensity of this concept. Their reactions seem genuine but your second model's pictures all look the same to me. Overall really good job
ReplyDeleteI like how you put emotions into your photos

verry creative idea and well done
ReplyDeleteGood idea to use a situation that is relatable to many others. Unique to use black and white editing process. Would love to see different people.
