“Sense of Place” - Photo 2

This is the second photo of the three part narrative we had to compose for this project in college. Again a triple exposure. The pillowcase (over my head that I was pulling back on) was meant to symbolise a suffocation feeling I get sometimes when anxious. The lightbulb, again symbolises my mind. The upside-down tree was a happy accident, I just made up a meaning for this, it symbolises the roots of the anxiety and how it stems throughout my entire body.

“Sense of Place” - Photo 1

I shot this for my “Sense of Place” project in college using film - aim of the brief was to capture the essence of a place. I picked my mind but I honed in one the over-anxious part. I’ve always been anxious since I was small. The tree was meant to represent a sort of spinal column but that failed..miserably haha! The shadow is myself of course and the light is a lightbulb which represents my mind. It was my first proper attempt of a triple exposure.

Day 6 : Photo365

Hassleblad stuck on the first frame, dark slide was out nothing hindering it from taking a photo…so I take it off the quick release and *SNAP* it takes a photo…same happened with second roll Kev kindly lent me…I like studio but I just felt so defeated today because the people who are meant to be in the equipment room weren’t there SO I had to wait around go back to my house and back to college…go buy lettuce for setup and now I don’t have any shots…I won’t even start on the equipment at college cause I’d be here all day. I want NEED a cocktail!!
