The genre of this photoshoot is digital manipulation because of the surreal nature of it as well as the post production work i had to do to create this.Camera Controls were set with Aperture set to f/3.6 the Shutter Speed was 1/6000 seconds and ISO was set to ISO-400.Natural Light has been used for my photograph as we were outdoors and it was a sunny day which we took advantage of.

Visual Elements are used as Successful photos rely on order, and the main elements that bring and emphasize order in a composition are: line, shape, form, texture, pattern, and color.
Line has been used with the lines created from the tall grass with in the photograph. Alternative lines can also be shown on the suit jacket. Shape can be seen by the areas defined by the multiple subjects within my piece. Form can be seen as i have created depth within my work as the different sizes of the figures create a three dimensional quality to the photograph. Tone is difficult to use within this piece as because of the natural light and the environment dark tones are not present instead we have a large quantity of light tones. Which quite frankly contrast the dark tones of the clothes. Colour can be seen because of the natural light making the colours more warm and vibrant. Space has been used as it has been taken up by the subjects which are scattered around. Texture can be seen on the floor, in the grass bushes and on the trousers.Pattern Is present within the repetition of the subject.

In the visual arts, composition is the placement or arrangement of visual elements or 'ingredients' in a work of art, as distinct from the subject. The term composition means 'putting together' and can apply to any work of art from music to writing to photography that is arranged using conscious thought. Vantage Points are one composition that has been used. Framing and Cropping has been used as i have cropped out the subjects and placed them within the picture framing them where they need to be. Rule Of Thirds is a rule i have broken the subjects dont  correctly sit on the sectors. Rule Of Odds and Evens is present as the number of figures is 8 and a even number creates an imbalance. Rule Of Triangles is seen in the arm fold where the subject is taking off the mask. Rule Of Space allows the photograph to convey a certain message.Symmetry is not necessarily used. Repetition and Pattern are used with the repetition of the subjects. Simplification was not needed for this photograph and so has not been used.

The Narrative of this photograph is to represent both conflicting multiple personality disorder or a Dissociative identity disorder this is  is a mental disorder characterized by at least two distinct and relatively enduring identities or dissociated personality states. These states alternately show in a person's behavior, accompanied by memory impairment for important information not explained by ordinary forgetfulness. These symptoms are not accounted for by substance abuse, seizures, or other medical conditions, nor by imaginative play in children. Dissociative symptoms range from common lapses in attention, becoming distracted by something else, and daydreaming, to pathological dissociative disorders. As well as an identity disorder or crisis where the subject loses a sence of who they are as a person. We see the multiple version of the individual through out the photograph and this is to represent all the other personalities and identities the subject has. Each a mask over the face to show they can be anything (and so the audience can identify with the subject in the photograph easier) it conveys the message that the individuals identity is interchangeable and can be created and come out in multiple personas.
