NATALIE CHAN'S PORTFOLIO

MY CHOSEN SOCIAL MESSAGE WAS THE FEELING OF BEING ALONE, WITH ALL THE PRESSURE THAT HAPPENS NOWADAYS, IT IS EASY TO FEEL ALONE OR LEFT OUT. 

​

I TOOK PICTURES OF THIS EXACT SCENARIO, AS TEENAGERS FEEL THE MOST INSECURE AND LONELY. I USED THE TECHNIQUE OF PURPOSELY BLURRING THE PICTURE WHEN I TAKE IT, TO SEE THE BLUR OF THE SCENARIO METAPHORICALLY IN A LITERAL WAY. 

​

AFTER TAKING THIS PICTURE, I TOOK IT TO PHOTOSHOP AND EDITED IT.  MAKING LITTLE CHANGES LIKE LOWERING THE BRIGHTNESS AND CONTRAST, LOWERING THE SATURATION AND MORE.  

​

INITIALLY I DECIDED TO MAKE THIS BLACK AND WHITE, BUT THEN I KEPT THE MINIMAL COLOUR BECAUSE OF THE MINIMAL COLOUR IN A LONELY AND INSECURE LIFE.
