These are a few examples taken from my photographic series on 'Mirrors'. In terms of their position in the power point I produced, these photographs arrive in a quick succession and mark the peak of the subject's mental anguish. I experimented with a slow shutter speed to achieve the distortion of the subject's reflection in the mirror, which I hoped would solidify the unsettling impact of the photographic series. In these particular examples I was inspired by the portraits of Francis Beacon, whereby the face would be contorted and twisted - thus arguably masking the identity of the subject. Although I am pleased with the outcome of these particular photographs, I would have liked to have experimented more with the effect of lighting, and exploring interesting ways in which I could use deep shadows or blinding light to further exaggerate the distortion of the subject's reflection.
