black and white digital: political


i think that there are a lot of issues and controversy that drug and alcohol-related problems create in our society. i took this picture to represent the way a drug user or alcoholic must feel after rough times during their life. even though lots may be going on around them, they feel stuck in their own time, so i decided to put my model in a whirlpool with newspapers to show this. they also feel alone and empty, so basically i went for a lot of symbolism, which may not convey my message as strongly, but i think it is pretty decent in my mind.
i could made this image stronger with more contrast, but i do think that there are enough tones from black to white.
