When I first started trying to think of how I wanted to set up the scene for the Photo shoot I began with the idea of a humorous/ ironic piece. The idea of being in a place that represents health and vitality such as the fruit and vegetable section of a supermarket was going to be the contrast to the "dead eyes" however I found it difficult to pose or find any of the photos take that I really liked.
I then went out of this idea of trying to make something funny and decided to create a photo that was more intimate, The head shot forces the viewer to look upon my face and makes my 'eyes' the focal point.
The final decision I make for this piece was to have myself drinking within the image. The thought behind this was to look the viewer directly in the eye as I did something destructive. Drinking alcohol directly from the bottle suggest no self control however the direct eye contact with the camera implies that I am fully aware of what I'm doing.
