For my fifth shoot, I decided to represent the fear Genuphobia, the fear of knees. This is quite an uncommon phobia, but I thought it would be interesting to represent as people do suffer from this fear.
I used paint and cotton wool to create some wounds on my knees to make it more uncomfortable to look at.
Here are the images I took for the shoot.
I then decided to use my hand to grab my knee - I thought this would make the images more disturbing and maybe even make the viewer 'cringe' at the sight.
I used a plain white background, this way the wounds, hand and legs would stand out more and not get sucked into a dark background.
I tried black and white and colour, but this time, I feel that the colour image is stronger than the black and white.
