Photo story

I took this photo not too long ago for a class. There were so many ways to tell this story that was in my head but was difficult to show what I was seeing. This is a narrative of a poem I would read when I was little of two people in a bed and both were dead but neither one knew. But I changed it a little and made them kill each other. I guess I pretty much changed the whole concept but thats what I wanted to do.

I feel like this is one of my stronger photographs because it is a narrative. I find it hard to have meaning behind my work sometimes but with this piece I found inspiration. Having a story to tell is a photo is hard sometime because you have to get it just right for people to understand it. Even if they do not understand the original concept, they could think of another story for themselves. That would work in my opinion because everyone is different. Everyone has a different way of looking at live.

I really haven't used narratives in my work and I would love to make more because they are really interesting. It can be tricky but the outcome is rewording when it works. I had another piece it is a triptych but I think the file was too big, but it tells the story even better than this picture. Unfortunately I could not upload it. The three pictures tell the same story.

The first photo on lower left is the photo above, then above that one is the woman chocking the male. The third on the right side is of the male holding an ax about to hit the woman. The larger photo to the right is the silhouettes of the two. It made a stronger image then the people themselves. It gives the illusion what is to come but you do not know if it really happens.
