The photos shown above were the best photos that I had taken from my practice / first photoshoot of the identity project. It stayed consistent with the theme of self improvement and the gym and features a variety of ideas. However I think some photos had more success than others. My favorite and probably best photo of the 4 shown here is the one in the top right which features a close up of the subject with half of his face being covered in light and the other being dark in contrast. This helps aid to the notion of conflicting emotions and puts further emphasis onto the face. This could be better in future photographs by including different facial expressions that could show struggle, joy, discomfort, etc. All emotions that could tell a story or mimic the actions one does in the gym, such as being in the middle of a set or being happy after hitting a PR. All in all I think my first photoshoot gave me a clearer pathway for what I would like to focus in my future shoots and has definitely been beneficial in improving my photographs and the deeper meanings of them.
