Factual: For this photo i was inspired by Vee Speers. I took this photo and also created it.

Context: In this photo we used one prop and that was the scissors. I used this to show how you may feel if you are being bullied.

Technique: This picture was taken with a Fuji camera. This camera has made the photo come out really well because as i put the flash on, it makes Carley's face lighter and have a slight glow to it.


Aesthetic: When i took this photo i was focusing on an emotional topic that occurs a lot with teenagers and that was self harm. Self harm does affect a lot of people in the U.K and also in other countries as well. I wanted people to be aware that when people say things to other people it will make them feel down. I decided to write 'Fat, Ugly, Useless and go die' on Carley's face because this is sometimes why some teenagers may self harm because they have been made to feel useless and worthless so that's why i have decided to show this in the photo. There are many reasons why people may self harm but it is mainly because they get bullied and are called names, this is why they may feel like the only way our is to hurt themselves. I used the scissors in this photo as my prop because i didn't want to go to deep into the subject because it can be a very sensitive topic for some. By placing the scissors up to her neck it kind of makes us think that maybe she has had enough and want to just give up now. As you can see Carley is looking down to the floor, we can see the hurt and pain in her eyes, which makes us think that maybe she is trying to think of what she has got to live for.This photo fits into Vee Speers photos because even thought it is an emotional topic, the photograph is also disturbing in some way. This photo by far is the most powerful one out of all 3 of them, because if you look into it with a lot of care then you will see that there is more than one aspect it may be showing us. If you are looking at this from the viewers point of view, then you can see that this photo is trying to show a lot of emotion and pain and that maybe they will understand what's going on in the teenagers life to upset them that much.
