Peter Lindbergh is a German campaign photographer who is recognized as one of the best photographers and his shots are typically shot in black and white which makes he images more effective and shows emotion. This quality has made him take pictures for big makes such as Calvin Klein.
Self harm pictures
Analysing pictures
This is my favorite picture because it has a quote on the picture which is expressing what it is happening to the girl also how she is feeling. Another reason why I like the image is because I like the black and white effect it looks really good on the image it makes it look better. Another thing is it has a quote that rhymes such as "They think she lies but they only check wrists never thighs" I think this is putting a very good strong message out so people to relalise what is happening . You can see the emotion in her eyes so your focus is drawn there. This is quite catchy and will help you remember.
I like this image because it shows different peoples views and what they're going through and how they are getting there message to people on how they feel. The meaning behind this picture is people go through this and we should do our best to help them.
The photographer used depth of field interestingly to show affect on the image. By the photographer repeating the image he is reiterating the message.

For me this is my favourite picture because the picture is different and is direct compared to the other two images the photographer that has edited. The photographer is sending a quite clear message by just showing just a scissors instead of using writing. Also the use of the different in contrasts of colours sends a dark emotion. Giving this a darker mood for the photograph. This picture has interesting composition. That it is lit from above which adds the dramatic message.
Plan
1.For my first shoot I will be getting a person wearing a black hoodie and putting there hood down because they are ashamed of doing self harm and they are depressed. They will be siting on there own in there corner because they are lonely and unwanted.
My first shoot
My best picture

The reason why this is my best picture is because you can see he is upset and you can see that this is what happens to you if you self harm ,no one will talk to you and you will be on your own. Also you can see what is happening in the image. I will change the picture to black and white to show the different contrast of colors I added the logo "Rise stand up speak" to show it is a campaign.

In this picture you can see that I have edited it as I have
planed.

The reason why this my worst picture is because it is not focused and you cant get a real image of what
is happening and it is very blurry. Also it is not focusing on the actual picture. The picture is over exposed as well. The image does not show what I wanted to do in my plan.

Plan
2, For my first shoot I will be getting a bandage around a hand and and I will put food colouring on the bandage then I will put it on Photoshop and I will put the quotes such as my scars are fading and I feel lost without them on the bandage after that I will put the image in black and white also I will put the child line logo on it.
Second shoot
When I was taking the pictures I released that the background wasn't going to work for my final piece idea so I changed it to a more simple background which would make it easier for me to edit.
These are the images that I have used to Photoshop to change the background and add text.
The reason why I think that this is my best picture is because . Firstly it is in black and white so it makes a very depressing look. I have added text so you how the person is feeling so you get a real image of what is happening and what the people are going through.I have used the different contrast in colors black and white to show the sad and dull and emotion. The picture is also slightly under exposed. Which helps the writing stand out.
My Worst Picture
I picked this image as my worst picture because it doesn't look like a real injury and it does not tell the story of what is happening in the photograph. I feel that this is because I have captured the angle wrong and I have only focused on the injury. The image does not show any of the camera setting that I am meant use and is not black and white
Plan
3. For my final shoot will be needing 3 people for my last one. I will have the first person siting at a table with a knife, then on the knife I will put food coloring on it so it looks like blood. Then I will put drops of food coloring around the table also on there wrist. My second person will just walk into a room and he will be shocked. My last person will be taking the pictures.
Third shoot
My best picture
This is my best photograph because you can see the writing on the phone, someone has sent a horrible messages to him.This is how I am going to shows cyber bullying for my campaign.I have taken the picture on a angle over the models shoulder so you can see the messages and I have used medium depth of field so I focused onto the phone and blurred out his face.
My worst picture
In my opinion this is my worst picture because you can not see the message on the phone which misses out the whole point of the reason why took this picture. There is also not much emotion on the boys face which means you can not tell weather the message is good or bad. The picture is slightly over exposed.
Evaluation
My strengths on my campaign photography is my final shoot, I thought of the idea as pupils are being bullied more because of technology. Cyber bullying is becoming an issue as it is not a physical form of bullying and if people do not speak up or tell someone it goes unseen. I have taken pictures of the models to show the message that has been sent to the students about this serious case.
If I was to do the project again I would take images outside of school so the models are not wearing school uniforms and the background is not a school. Also I would use more props to make the shoots interesting. I found the topic campaign photography difficult to relate to and feel that my work is not as successful as my other projects as I found it hard to think of ideas to support the campaign I chose.
