Editss

I used the black and white technique on my photos again and found it to be very effective. It made my picture's more dark and helped express isolation and loneliness more.


I experminted with enhancing the colour and making them more vibrant to see the effect it created and found in black and white the picture was more dark and showed isolation where as in colour it showed solitude because it made the mood of the picture more positive.













Here below i turned the figures into black silhouettes and found this to be very effective because it gave the pictures more mystery and made the figure look even more isolated.




Picture Time

I went out of the urban environment and took some pictures in the countryside because i felt that showed isolation and perhaps solitude very well. I had a lot more success with these photos and took some in the day/dusk and at night and found this helped set different moods to the photos













This picture above i feel looks effective and shows isloation and loneliness well.






I like this photo of the bench because it shows isolation through something that is not living and is different.



Edits

I put my photos on photoshop and attempted different ways of editing them and manipulating them, I decided to experiment with black and white because i found a lot of photographers had done that to help show isolation and loneliness because it gives it a more raw and dark edge to the photo




Round One Taking Pictures

I started off at night taking pictures of what i thought showed isolation/loneliness. Here below were the most effective ones i took however i feel they look abit too staged so have decided to try and take some more natural looking ones next time i go out. Becasue of it being night therefore it was dark i found it difficuly to work with the lighting so out of about 50 photos only 5 or 6 would look good.







Research

I did lots of research into artists and photographers that have done work on solitude loneliness and isolation and here below are some of the favourite's i found.
