The Negative and Me

'The Negative and Me', is a photographic project based around the experience of being isolated and I have photographed this feeling through landscapes in combination with self-portraits. This project allowed me to express my feelings through photography, it is a way to relieve how I am feeling and to let go of all thoughts which make me feel isolated. The reason I chose photography to show this feeling is because of the impact it can have from the scale and size when printed and how immersive my photography is. My landscapes are shot on a wide-angle lens to capture the scale of landscape enveloping me within the image to convey this feeling of isolation. In post-production I have either drawn a square or rectangle over myself in the image and adjusted it to black and white, to further convey the message of isolation. The locations that I shoot in are only around Norwich and Haverhill, they are purely familiar landscapes to me or ones which I remember growing up in.
