Artist's Comments

The original intention of this photo was to portray a young man who is frustrated from the amount of mixed media being shoved at him. This is basically a huge problem faced today by a lot of the new generation in which they have no idea what to believe.

Most of us are on the borderline of Apathy.

Lovely shot, the look on his face brings the point home. Have you tweaked the colors?

excellent concept and well done with the photograph. The lighting could be better but that works fine too. I wish if you didn't use the Adv page of Gillette it took a big space. i like the tension you created by having the half arm off the frame. This could be a successful series of works.

Thanks a lot for the constructive comment bro! Well for the lighting, I definitely agree it could have been better. I was just experimenting with a slower shutter speed rather than using a flash. As for the Gilette Ad, I put that there on purpose too to emphasize the fact that even advertisements have become just a way to make money and deceive the consumer rather that providing a good product.

Thanks a lot again! I just might turn this into a series! If you have any suggestions on the style/concept for a new one, please do recommend. :salute:
