This title is named Facing Reality because I was trying to recognize the need for social reform, and the reality of America's current environment we must face in order to find true equality. I photographed my friend Dorian in the photography studio at Hoover. I used a Canon 6ti with a kit lens from Mr. Rigsby’s cabinet. I like this image for its complex composition, the ambiguous feeling the overlapping faces portray, and the overall tone created by high contrast and the intense vignette. If I could change something, I wish I had shot slightly brighter so that I include parts of his hair. Considering African American hairstyles have been an ongoing debate, specifically within modern beauty standards, I felt that would have been an important thing to add in my image. Other than that, I am very pleased with the result.

I really like this picture. I like how the lighting is highlighting the faces. I like the black and white and how it brings out the detail out in the picture. I really like this picture and I like your meaning behind it.
The meaning behind this photo is amazing. I like how you turned the contrast up and that it's black and white. I do wish that his hair was visible though but other than that this photo is great.

This picture is awesome! Super well blended and seem-less. I like the black and white affect because I feel like it adds to the tone and the mood. Really good job!
