After taking some photos which I was pleased with, I turned them to black and white and played around with the settings like exposure, contrast etc.
The new idea that came forth was almost that of an identity crisis and this is where I started the recovery process. My friends are very conscious of how they present themselves in public and to others, myself included. In today’s society, showing emotion for men is seen as a weakness. I wanted to contradict that idea and recover my friends’ confidence, not only in how they are seen but also in how they hold themselves in their space. Regaining their space to feel confident in again was something that heavily influenced me wanting to create these works.
