This shoot, like the others in this series, focused on an important aspect in the models life. He has an interest in gaming and so takes himself away from social situations and instead focuses on his online reality. I used a variety of angles and lenses when taking this series, as I wanted to show a range of perspectives. I wanted to show how technology might make you feel as though you’re being social when really it takes you away from real life moments. Following on from my other photo series, I wanted obstacles in the foreground to separate the viewer from subject to increase the feeling of isolation and solitude. I think this shoot was successful because of the variety of shots and I think I’ve captured his personal isolation through his activity.
