For someone who isn't that keen on using film, i think i've managed to pull a decent image out of the bag for this one!
We had to shoot an image on fuji film of something that we saw as being extreme or something that defines the word extreme.
I decided on using a medium format camera and pro 160s colour film.
At first i struggeled to think of something to shoot and the best thought was to shoot some kind of extreme sport... not so easy to find, and also im not the most confident person when it comes to using film, so i wanted to play it safe.
I eventually decided that i was going to photograph 'Anorexia'. I used my brother as a model and used makeup to create an emaciated look. I used a tape measure within my images so that the meaning of the image was alot clearer.
Once i'd got my neg's back from processing, i scanned them in and chose the best 3 to edit. I liked the images in B&W rather than colour as i felt that this made the images more powerful and realistic.
I wanted the photos to be grainy and very punchy so i upped the contrastwhen editing.
The 3 edited images:
Above is my final image that i entered =]
