Campaign photography Self-harm
I have chosen a campaign about self-harm, because I feel like this campaign doesn't get around as much as it should. I have strong feelings because no one in the world should go through this at all. Most of the people that self-harm, their parents don't know it happening. They won't tell their parents in case they start screaming and shouting at them for doing it . People that self-harm, don't have any special help for it. So I thought I would make these posters, so we can help them and show them that they are not alone.
The pictures that caught my attention.
These pictures have something to do with self-harm so take the second picture, most people think girls just do self-harming. But in facts boys do it as well, even adults do it too. Because they feel uncomfortable about their appearance. Or people are being bullied, about how they look. These pictures are all dark, so they would show sadness, depression or maybe anger.
I don't like this.
I don't like this picture! because I feel like they should change the pen to a knife, and the colour to red, so it stands out more, maybe even make it into a black and white photograph.
The one that stands out most to me.
This picture stands out to me, because it shows the stages of what it goes to. Also, what kind of feeling the person is going through during the stages. The colour has been set to black and white because it been put in a mood of depression. This is one of my ideas that I will probably do! but make it different. There could be a change they could make the writing and lines in red and still have the black and white background. The lighting is dark but light at the same time, because its black and white. The picture concentrates on the writing on the arm because this is showing what this person goes through and so we understand.
