Hi Keren,

Photography is a communication tool. The photographer makes a photo and in the process their aim, hope, motivation – however you like to describe it – is usually to communicate that idea to other people.

Now, as I look at this photograph I can see a collection of elements being brought together in the frame. we have the camera, almost pointing like a gun at this person's head and then we have the scattering of images in an almost cloud-like vignette in the background. What I am having trouble understanding though… is what these elements are meant to be doing together. We need a little more clarity, or connection between the elements.

How do we make that connection? Well, I think there is an easy solution to this. Chances are you have seen the LED pen lights that you can buy nowadays? Well if it was me putting this image together, I would have taped one of those flashlights to the barrel of the camera lens (the camera in the photo) so that it projects light directly onto the subject's head. To add to this effect, you could almost add some smoke to the environment so that you can see the beam of light.

In adding a beam of light from the camera you make it look like the camera is projecting through the person's head to create those images! Don’t be scared to go back and have another go!

Hope this is a help!

Cheers,

Anthony
