Trapped

This image is part of my first experimentation for my final major project. First attempt of creating my character and encapsulating all the themes relevant to my story into one person. I also wanted to further expand on techniques I had grown to enjoy such as chiaroscuro lighting and creating at-home studio like backgrounds for more polished images. The work of Ralph Eugene Meatyard is ever influencing me so I wanted to really bring forth that eerie ambiance again and make the viewer feel uncomfortable. The character is one who is trapped behind a mask he can not escape from. This hinders his life, he can never free his true self from the physical façade forced upon him.
