Ideas - Tom Hussey

I'm back looking at Tom Hussey and his photography work, I think that his work is brilliant. I found a quote which Tom Hussey had said about his photography work. He stated that his photography ' It's a combination of lighting and storytelling meant to evoke an emotion. I believe that lighting plays a big part in how people react to the emotion being portrayed in my images' and this is why I like his work so much, the picture does tell a story and all these emotions are coming over you while you are viewing the photograph, it is just brilliant.

A photograph which touched me that Tom Hussey had taken was of this women who was abusing her body with drinking alcohol and smoking. I thought this could relate to my project because even though my project is about Self Harming and the victim v the attacker this photograph could help me in that aspect of things, because this individual is abusing themselves with alcohol and smoking so it is the same as the victim v the attacker because majority of the time they do not actually want to be drinking and smoking but the attacker in them is forcing them and encourgaing them to follow through with something that they would rather get help for and sort themselves out with.

I do feel that this photograph relates in so many ways, and even though other individuals looking at the photograph may have different emotions towards it but my emotions are the same as when I look at a Self Harming photograph is that these individuals need help and they are asking for help but they are going the wrong way about it, instead of speaking out about their problems they are abusing their bodies hoping that someone will take notice of them.
