These self-portraits were produced to create a sense of loneliness, as well as having no control over this loneliness. I feel that the orange colour of my hair is slightly to bright in these three images, creating a distraction. What works well is the white clothing contrasting against the black headboard, and this idea of contrast is something I will continue to use throughout my work.
These two images for me are the strongest. The first one shows the idea of loneliness more than the others, being surrounded by nothing else in the image. Not showing my face is a common theme I have used throughout my self portraiture work. The final picture works best for me, the blurred effect links to the idea of having no control over my loneliness, and the bright colour of my hair contrasted with the muted tones of the rest of image, draw the viewer into the work. The white clothing has a rawness to it, similar to the film effect colouring within the image.
