This is the theme I am going to use Dreams or Nightmares
A nightmare is a dream occurring during rapid eye movement sleep that results in feelings of strong terror, fear, distress or extreme anxiety. This phenomenon tends to occur in the latter part of the night and often awakens the sleeper, who is likely to recall the content of the dream.
Who is Nicolas Bruno?
"After time, I started noting down these experiences and pulling main components of these dreams - such as silhouetted figures and chilling subject matter to create for a bittersweet homage and re-enactment of these dream-world encounter." -Nicolas Bruno

Best photograph
This photograph could not be real because you would not be able to sit on a sofa that is on fire you would feel extensive heat that is why the image is surreal. What I like about this image is the background and how the colours are contrasting to the black suit and hat, he is dressed as if he is a business man.
Who is Arthur Tress?
In his stunning “Dream Collector” series, American photographer Arthur Tress tapped into the immense emotional power presented in our childhood dreams and turned it into a gripping series of surreal photographs.
Best photograph
I like this photograph because in this image he used two different genders to show that they are a married couple merged into one, they are becoming one person, he has used a demolished background maybe to show how marriage can sometimes be destructive.
1st shoot
This is my first shoot, in this shoot I tried to create a human without hands. In this shoot I used different kinds of depth of field for example large, medium and small. In this shoot some photographs are over exposed and some photographs are not facing the correct angles. In this shoot I also used different kinds of white balance.
worst photograph
This is my worst photograph because the angle is not good and its over exposed also the focus point is not good.
Best photograph
This is my best photograph because in this photograph I used a large depth of field. In this photograph my focus point was on the middle.
I have altered the image to black and white and darkened the contrast to add more menace to the photograph
2nd shoot
This is my second shoot, in this shoot I used the iron and iron stand to play on the fact that teenage boys rarely do housework stereotypically. In this shoot some of my photographs are over exposed and some of them are too bright. however by altering the ISO and exposure I managed to get the correct settings to achieve a strong picture
Photoshop
I used Photoshop to edit in my photo-shoot, I used the lasso tool to trim around the photo and cut them out I also used the colour effects to make them black and white. I placed the boy in the woods to show him hiding from his housework and fading him away.
3rd shoot
In this shoot I used a large depth of field to show the detail of the trees to create more of an atmosphere for the cloned figure
4th shoot
This is my 4th shoot in this shoot the white balance was set wrong in this shoot and my photographs were to orange but I liked the layout of them so I decided to edit the colour on photoshop, if I took the shoot again I would change the white balance to tungsten to apply a blue filter.

I created this on Photoshop and I made this photograph black and white to add a more mysterious feel
