To me photographing my masks was just as important as making them, when creating an effective image. My posture and outfit in addition to the back drop were all factors that I had to consider. I chose a cityscape backdrop as my mask was all about the emotion that come with moving to a big city and I chose to wear all black. This was because I was photographing in black and white and I thought it would work well with the bold black lines on the masks. Of the two masks I think that the first mask portrays feelings of confusion, curiosity and loneliness better. However, when you look at the photograph as a whole the second image is more effective. I love the way in which the image is composed, with the isolated lonely figure in the centre and the tension of the buildings against the heavy sky behind. I was worried that I might have over edited my images but I personally quite like the drama that the heavy black and white gives the cityscape. I also asked a couple of my peers and they agreed.
