Photos of Subject Matter

When I completed the drawings subject matter of my topic, I then chose to take photos of the subject matter by trying to capture a child woking in labour. This allowed for me to experiment with different concepts I could use within my work as well as helping me understand the almost delicate nature of the subject I would be focusing on. 

Here are the photos I took in different environments.

After going through the photos I had taken, I selected 13 which I thought were most relevant to the message I wanted to portray within my illustration and could maybe use within it later on in the project.


I then further edited my 5 top photos on photoshop by altering the colour balance and changing the levels within the images. I tried to make them capture this idea of helplessness when a child is faced with labour, with no way to get out, with them being trapped in the cycle common to areas in poverty stricken conditions, inspiring further ideas of what my project could focus on for the final illustration.






I then decided to draw some more subject matter from these photos I had taken. I completed them free hand using an HB pencil.
