Piece 1

Material: Canon ixus 105， iPhone 13

Idea: I wanted to draw attention to the fact that introverts constantly isolate themselves in a room and value their alone time more as an example of how introverts express loneliness. I therefore used my curtains to establish a sense of closure.  However, introverts also crave solitude, so I decided to stand by the window and take the photos in the daytime so that the sun's reflection on the subject's face would better capture the contrast between light and shade. At the same time, the eyes looking downwards also convey the emotion of loneliness.

Process: For this photograph, I used a Canon camera in flash mode so that the contrast could be better represented. I began by waiting till it was more sunny to stand near the window and place the curtains in front of my face or camera. After deciding on this one, I removed the date from the photo, added a few layers of filters using my photo-editing application, and then added some subtle contrast using the phone's built-in photo-editing feature.
