Merging together

Merging together my photographs has really shown how interesting they look together. I am merging together my images because of this mirror effect which I thought would represent Self Harming in the best form as it is showcasing that not everybody knows that individuals are going through Self Harming they see a different side to them.

I want my audience members to get a feel on how Self Harming victims see themselves and what they are experience when they are seeing themselves, as a lot of the time they can not speak out about their problems and hide away from others and themselves. I feel that these images are portraying a realistic view on what Self Harming victims see about themselves and also want individuals who do not know they are Self Harming see what it is like for that victim.

These are the two photographs which I am merging together, the reason behind it is that individuals are seeing a happy person but inside she is crying and screaming out for help but no body can hear her and she is scared to open herself to somebody to gain that help she deserves. I have decided to  change the colour into black and white to give it more an edgy feel to it.
