Quite awhile after receiving my new brief 'Narrative' I finally started to get a few ideas. For my single narrative image I thought of 'Loneliness' and took an image, I felt related to this. The image is below.
However at the time I was unsure of how strong this image was and the narrative so I decided to think of a different narrative or possibly a different/better image to show loneliness in the photo. I began thinking of trying to relate something that I have experienced and trying to portray that through an image, as if it has happened to me there must be a narrative if I try to show this through a photo. I then thought of the idea of 'Insomnia' as I thought everyone can relate to not being able to sleep and therefore most people should be able to understand the image and understand the narrative. I was pleased and happy with this idea and excited to shoot it although due to taking ages on deciding on an idea I had left myself very little time to actually shoot, so as I was booked in the studio to shoot my series narrative I thought this is the only chance I have to take a single narrative image for the hand in which was the next day. After realising the image I wanted in my head for the idea of Insomnia wasn't going to quite work and I'd have to adapt to the studio I began to worry and try to think of a solution. Then the camera I was using for the shoot decided to die and I began to panic slightly but a friend and peer who I was shooting came up with the idea of 'Gluttony'. I thought this could work and maybe with the image not looking great but the idea and narrative was there so with using what we had in the studio and also taking the photos on my Iphone because of the camera dying, I had taken my single image shot. However for some reason, maybe because it was shot on the Iphone the image wouldn't go to the size I wanted and to which the brief required so I decided in the end to use the image above, which I had taken with narrative in mind, for my single image narrative photo. After handing this in and hearing the feedback I am pleased with this image and glad I had taken it.
