This darker photo of mine is one of my favorite photos out of this set as it shows one of the phases of getting your headphones on. In this phase he is not too exited and is getting ready to put the headphones on. In the image he is shown as very apathetic as you can’t really see any emotion or expression on his face. This is what I was trying to show with this image. The tone of the image is mainly in a black or dark blue color. The color is also combined with his blue and black shirt which allows him to be very visible to the human eye.  The darker lighting in this image is to show no emotion as a darker color can sometimes show a lack of empathy or emotion. In this phase of putting on headphones he is not excited because he hasn’t actually put the headphones on yet. The posing of the photo was also chosen because it shows no emotion or expression and focuses on getting ready to put the headphones on while looking down. I tried to add color variation in this image with darker black parts to the right in the background and darker blue parts to the left. As he is on the left side of the image the background will be darker because he is portraying more of a dark mood and demonstrating no signs of emotion in this photo. The left side is highlighted in a lighter blue color because he is about to get in the zone and be focused and more exited when he puts the headphones on. In this image I was trying to show what it would look like when you are about to put the headphones on. On the left side you can also partly see his shadow which is ultimently trying to show his identity and the person he wants to be on the other side near the blue parts. I was trying to portray the identity that he wants which he can achieve through listening to music. Overall, this image is in strong focus throughout which shows his emotion and feeling more clearly. To sum up, the image is a very strong image which shows exactly what I’m trying to portray and one of the phases of putting headphones on or listening to music.
