Here was my photoshoot with Ryan. For this shoot I took these photograph's at his house and mostly within his bedroom. To get the bright vivid lights, me and Ryan persevered with what we had at his house, to create the blue light that appears on his face, we used a fluorescent tooth whitening product and simply shined it on Ryan's face. This photograph was my favourite out of the whole photo shoot, as Ryan is naturally very bubbly and humorous, I found a lot of the photographs he was laughing. Ryan is no longer a teenager so what we talked about was his journey as a teenager to the person he is today, and Ryan had a lot to say. We started with the most obvious change he experienced in his life when he was a teenager, when he came out as gay. Ryan tells me he'd always known, but had been confused as a child being expected to 'have a girlfriend' or 'like a girl' at school. He eventually told his mum at the age of around 15, and ever since then he's been open and confident about his sexuality.

I love this photograph however, if I could go back and change it I would take it from a different angle, from further up so the camera is angling down on Charlotte, this would get her silhouette of her whole head instead of just half. This is pretty much the only thing about this photograph that I don't like.

Here was another experimental edit I done from my photoshoot with Charlotte, Although I like the layered effect I don't think this will be in my final images and in the next couple of weeks I can get more photographs and experiment further with layering and fading two photographs together.

I love this photograph of Charlotte and I think I will be including this photograph into my final images. For this photograph Charlotte talked to me about the lonliness she felt as a teenager, surrounded by friends who were 'normal' Charlotte always felt a bit estranged from everyone else. Charlottes mum was quite strict with letting Charlotte go out with her friends, especially when all her friends began drinking and they would go out camping/drinking and Charlotte wouldn't be allowed to attend. She started working at 16 and dropped out of school at 17, she now works full time at only 19 and plans to get back into education but unfortunately feels too shy and uncomfortable to go back into education. At school Charlotte was very into art and always had a huge talent/passion for painting. At 17 I remember Charlotte listening to Radiohead, painting images of tree's with beckoning roots and smoking instead of going to lessons. It's hard to say how Charlottes teenage years have shaped who she is today because she is still a teenager, however her maturity and confidence grow everytime I have a photoshoot with her, which she now really enjoys after this photoshoot. This made me feel so much better too, because I finally felt like I can comfortably direct my models, and make them feel comfortable and at ease.

This is my finalized edit of this photograph with Charlotte, I personally love this photograph as she really connects to the camera and invites the audience in. She looks completely relaxed and happy for me to take her photograph.

Here I was experimenting with close ups of Charlottes face to get that close intimacy of the camera and the model I had saw in Tyler Ford's shoot with Bella Hadid. These photographs were taken outside so used natural daylight.

An issue I spoke to Charlotte about considering her teenage years was her appearance and her acne. Charlotte suffered from getting spots as a teenager, and these have left scars on her face. Charlotte is still 19 so she is still a teenager, and does sometimes suffer from spots. At first my idea to bring forward her blemishes into a positive light concerned Charlotte, and she felt uncomfortable incase my viewers judged her for her skin. I took this into consideration while I was editing my photographs and in some images I completely blurred out all spots/flaws, but then I spoke to Charlotte again about it and she agreed that she was happy about showing her spots as she loved the photograph's anyways. I was really happy about Charlottes decision to allow me to use her natural skin in my photograph's as I believe her overall nature and aura in photographs is visually stunning.

Here are some experimental edits of my photoshoot with Charlotte outside. I felt these looked better in black and white due to it being quite a flat, dull day. While we talked about Charlottes teenage life, she opened up to me about some bad habits she caught within the friendship group she had as a teenager, smoking. I really like these images but I don't think they fit into my theme of warm, vivid lighting and colours.
