Substance abuse, also known as drug abuse, is use of a drug in amounts or by methods which are harmful to the individual or others. It is a form of substance-related disorder.
Favourite
This is my favourite photo because it has a clear explicit message whilst also being implicit. it shows that the person taking the drugs is asking for help, it could also mean their way of showing they need help is through the drugs, they send the message of help.
Least Favourite
This is my least favourite because this style of photograph doesn't have any explicit or implicit message, its just a picture of lots of different drugs. To fix this they could add some people, writing or anything that shows that drugs are a negative thing.
Plan
For my plan i am going to use double exposure to overlay the anatomy of a neck (damaged by smoking) over his neck. this show's the negative effects smoking can have on your health. i am going to take this photo on a blank white wall. i will need no props. To double exposure i am going to cut out a photograph of damaged airways and overlay it onto a photograph of Jay exposing his neck.
i tried to do it but because of the white background it didn't really work, to fix this i need to find one that has a background that doesn't interfere with the photo
The shoot didn't really turn out well because the overlay was on a white background and it showed through the shirt, to fix this i need to find a photo with a dark background or with no background.
Plan
For this shoot I am going to use sweets that look like drug tablets and take photographs of someone with their head down on a floor and all the tablets around where the mouth of the person is. I am going to use Kyran for the shoot and do it on the floor in the classroom.
Favourite
These are my favorite because they are clear and have a clear message that he needs help with the drugs. on the first one i set the exposure level at 0 but on the second one i set it slightly lower at -1. the second one adds more of a negative effect
Least favourite
This is my least favourite because you cant see the mints (pills) and the writing isn't very clear. This is due to the exposure being too high and the natural light reflecting off the table.
Shoot 3 plan
For this shoot i am going to use an empty wine bottle and Kyran. i am going to have him lying down (like a passed out drunk) outside the science wing and take photos showing how bad alcohol can be.
Favourite
This is my favourite photo because the foreground is blurred, with the main focus point being on Kyran and the bottle, and the background is partially out of focus, drawing the eye to Kyran. Also the exposure is set on 0, leaving all the detail undisturbed.
Least Favourite
This is my least favourite because it is over exposed at a 3, and due to this most of the detail is gone, therefore ruining the meaning of the photograph.
Edited photos
These photos i edited on photo plus using the sponge tool to make them black and white and the curve tool to edit the exposure and contrasts.

Climate Change
for this shoot my plan is to show the effect pollution has on the planet, to do this i am going to show a bin, overflowing with rubbish and someones hand picking it up, for this i need a large bin, someone to help me and "rubbish"
Favourite
this is my favourite because the photo is clear and somewhat in focus.
Least favourite
This shoot didn't really work out due to the fact we didn't have a lot of time, the lens was dirty leading to lack of focus and the general plan didn't really work with the resources that we had
