"This is not my true face"
“A Lesson Never Learned” – Asking Alexandra
Asking Alexandra is a British metalcore band which is my favorite
metal genre. The reason why I choose this song is because this is when the band
was struggling through drug addiction. The song feels so real, raw, and screams
with passion from their challenges. With my photos I want to capture their hopelessness
and misery. I wanted to use a lot of depth of field in my photos to make
certain body parts like ears, eyes, and knees stand out the most with
sharpness, because that’s what the lyrics focus on. I choose the monochrome
setting with the contrast at the highest setting to give the sense of darkness,
despair, and struggle. For all the photos my white balance was set to tungsten
because it gives a blueish tint to everything so I felt that it would make my
pictures a little darker.

"Fuck"
Such a great job with this assignment, Jess! I LOVE the broken down doll image. So powerful!!! The images of Steph by the wall and in the mirror are really well-done and develop the narrative in a really strong way. I can tell this song's message is important to you by the care with which you composed each image :) Nice job describing the process by which you worked with monochrome in order to shape the intensity of the images and to structure the viewer's emotional response.
