Final Images: Bedlam Insomniac




This is my main final image for the Bedlam Insomniac.I am extremely pleased with the outcome and I think the concept transfers well to photograph. The contouring, green toned lips and matted hair show decay and neglect of the body and the constraints around her face represents both the emotional and physical constraints of having a mental illness.I am especially happy with model choice - she was able to take direction extremely well and work with me to get a good photo composition, for example, twisting her hand to make it seem as though she's pulling at the straps on her face and moving her neck at odd angles.  I also think the styling worked well for this shoot, especially the home-made backdrop.
