we need to talk.

Context is a tool that can influence the perception of a photograph. One way to create context is to have a reference point that either supports or refutes a position taken in the photograph. I'm currently working on a series that juxtaposes text and image to create context.

My series is based on 'break-ups' and the common 'starter lines' or words used to end a relationship. I have been brainstorming are various lines, but I have not selected what ones I will use. Once I have my photographs I will pair them with the appropriate text. So far these are the lines I have come up with:

We need to talk.

It's not you, it's me.

I don't love you anymore.

I've met someone.

I think we would be better off as just friends.

I don't want to be the one that holds you back.

I need some space.

I think we should see other people.

The photographs are to act as the canvas for the selected text. When shooting my first role I wanted to create simple and appropriate images.
