While I have neglected this blog some what, it is not because I have forgotton about the work more that I have been working on the actual Photography side of things.
I have completed my photoshoots for this project as well as the post production work. It has come out much better than expected.
While I could not complete the project as I origionally intended the second ideas and results have come out well.
I decided to use only Cocaine, Heroin, Crystal Meth & Marijuana showing the adverse affects of each.
As mentioned before these are the ideas and concepts behind each photograph -
Cocaine -
Over use and continual use of cocain will cause your septum to literally fall out. This is what I tried to portray in the photographs.
Crystal Meth -
This was quite easy to show, brusing and scabs are common amogst Crystal Meth addicts as well as premature ageing.
Heroin -
To start with I wanted to use a child or young adult to create a larger sense of shock. However I could not, instead I used a young woman to represent it. I wanted to show how flithy and terrible the drug really is.
Marijuana -
While many believe that Marijuana is not a 'bad' drug and it is used widely as well as legal in some locations around the world. However continual long term use can cause various mental side affects.
I believe I showed this quite well in the photographs, using a selection of 3 photographs, I created a composition of different emotions. Laughter, was followed by the munchies and finally by paranoia.
*Final photograph will be in black and white as per breif.
