Developing my previous idea, I purchased a newspaper that immediately drew interest to me with the title ‘1000 Days Wasted’. This title particularly interests me as I wanted it to be topical and related to the day. This is a feature that i want to include ( the date of the newspaper). This is to keep the date integral to the image, linking my work as it develops. At first I attempted to shoot by myself, although it was much easier to shoot while someone else was holding the newspaper. I experimented with the exposure levels which is why some of the images became overexposed. I wanted the font to be prominent in my work, with minor details in the background. I did find it difficult to find any links between the newspaper and the background ; I will attempt to do so in later shoots.
I believe the monochrome effect worked better with this shoot compared to the standard colour mode. I want the tone to be different to my previous work. I want more of a political stance with titles of red top newspapers, including the date of when the paper was published. I plan for these images to be viewed as a series.
