This image was taken for my fortnightly picture project of the theme "Hunger". The image itself is of bones taken from a chicken, all of the meat was removed from the bones. I arranged the bones to spell the word Hunger, and also placed the rest of the leftover bones at the top of the image. I took the photograph on a black chopping board as I found the black background really made the bones stand out, and made the entire image look darker. I also used a flash gun to light my photograph.
When I was editing the photograph, all i did was bring the vibrance up a little, to make the bones stand out even more. I also strengthened the blacks of the chopping board to make the background even.
The image was meant to represent the all consuming nature of human greed, the fact that only bones remain highlights both the destructiveness of greed and lack of substance of greedy people, so these people are only in it for their own personal gain.
What I like about this image is how gritty it looks, and how hard the blunt message hits you just by seeing the bones used in this way.
My boyfriend helped me loads with this shoot, he even spent ages getting the meat off the bones which isn't a nice job but thank you lots Joee :)
The idea came to me after reading an article. The statistics are overwhelming.
Firstly I made the version in orange ( the colour that suppresses hunger ), but afterwards I decided to refer to the sorrow of this situation.
