Final Images - The Way We Live Now

Here are the final images of my project of The Way We Live Now and how they were printed and displayed for our group critique.

Sorry for the bad quality image, this was taken via iPhone

Here are a few of my final images that I will be including in my The Way We Live Now project. I'm producing 2 series of images within the theme. The bottom two are from the same series, while the one on the top is from the other. After looking at my final images, I'm finding that they look better with a white boarder around them. I feel like they bring out the detailing in the images, and even though they are part of a series, it gives each image a clear division so they can also be viewed and analysed separately as each image tells a story. 
These images are not my my final edits.

The Way We Live Now

My initial concept when responding to this title was to create images based on how we are controlled by the government, how corrupt and how their brainwashing system surrounds us. I thought of ways I could question capitalism and how it affects us through the media and the commercial industry. This is something I have a strong opinion on and I want to share my thoughts and opinions through my photographs. I also felt this was a very strong concept to work with as it can have a strong impact to viewers.
We live in an age where the younger generation are heavily influenced by technology and social media. These very influential methods control our generation a great deal and is very difficult to break away from. Photography can also have this impact and be very influential, therefore is a strong method in breaking that system.
For my images to be successful I want to gather as much research as possible from many aspects of the 'status quo'. Whether it be political issues, riots, big brother, social unrest, poverty and economical issues.
