This shoot focused on a single mother who’s children have moved out. Out of all of the photos I have taken so far, to me, this series made me feel the most emotional. I think this is because I know the back story of the model, but I tried to show this through my images.

Again shooting in black and white, like the other images, I believe this gives the images more depth as it enhances the solitude/isolation feel. The use of silhouetting creates a mystery to the model and makes the viewer question why have I blacked out the models face? The reason is that I wanted to show the vulnerability of the model is so that the viewer can empathise, and also put themselves in the models shoes and see if they can relate to their own personal experiences.
