"Exposing Every Weakness, However Carefully Hidden."

I took this photo because I wanted to capture the lyrics "Exposing every weakness, however carefully hidden". I wasnt sure if my friends would be comfortable taking a photo shirtless so I decided to make a self portrait. I wanted to capture fear, sadness, and a little bit of mystery in a portrait for this lyrical phrase. first, by making a slight blue solid color filter, I muted the contrast, and creating the feeling of sadness. With the facial expression I created the feeling of fear. I wanted to create a message that could be interpreted as: The man is afraid of what kind of person he is/will be when he puts on the shirt an tie. Maybe he is a teen afraid of a future at a desk job or maybe a CEO afraid of what kind of person he has become. the interpretation is where the mystery comes in. This relates to my concentration because the lighting and general concept is dark and moody and perfectly reflects the beginning of the album where Roger Waters is telling us about his troubling adolescence.
