The artist I chose is Mark Mann, Mark’s black and white images possess a timeless quality, drawing attention to the raw emotions and textures within the frame. Learning from Mark’s black and white photography can teach us the power of simplicity, composition, and the art of storytelling through contrast and tonal range.
The social issue that I chose will be focusing on bullying, I will keep the lighting setting up the same as what Mark is doing, making sure at least one side of the face is clearly exposed in the camera. The close up will keep the same as Mark, the things I want to focus on is how the close up and the lighting helps the storytelling. How is only showing up a face can affect other’s emotion and how can I express feelings. One of the easiest thing that can be noticed if someone got bullied, is their injuries. To achieve that, I will make sure there will be scars and models face to easily express the theme that I want others to see. Another type of bullying is cyberbullying, to achieve this at the same time, I will make sure to have words on their face too. These words are usually words that can hurt other’s feeling easily and that can make a deeper connection to other people.
