What has inspired me to create a photo like this was, the inspiration of the thought of being forgotten, I belieave everyone struggles with this feeling, whether it is losing a loved one, being forgotten in a friend group, or graduating from school. Most people when this happens Isolates themselves when really, they don’t want to be alone. No one wants to be left behind by the people they love. The deeper meaning, I wanted to include in this was the words surrounding the negative space to indicate the thoughts of the person being forgotten, the words being “Please don’t go”, “I can’t”, “Ill be good”, and “I miss you”. The person walking away indicating them leaving out a door of being whether a new beginning, or a start of new people. The specific artistic elements I included was multiple layers, each section of this (The hands, the person, the drawing of the words and shadow, and the background) were all separated from each other to make editing easier. The lighting was planned to make the hands lighter and the background darker so you can focus on what was in the front, and less in the back. In the end of this project, I ended off with 8 layers for each section, and most of this was adjustment of the Brightness/Contrast and messing with the blending of the hands and background.
