By working on the subject I chose this year I can see a lot of improvement from my previous work. Psychology is the subject that I always wanted to explore and analyse . An opportunity came in to my hands this period after some difficulties I had in my past. So working hard day after day it was like my feelings were translated on my work and I was feeling relieved. And the conclusion was that I used this issue as a treatment for problems I learned that it's more powerful in y art work to have things and concerns that are part of my life because I can analyse them, play around and also be more strict with them. As the time passed, I also gained the ability to be more selective with my work , choosing from photos. I also learned to simplify the concept in my photographs without  using a lot of materials, just concentrating on the meaning that I want to pass to my viewers, Focusing on what is important.


In this photoshoot, I wanted to explore the theme of control. Some people can be controlled and influenced more easily. The fear and pain is seen in the subject's face. The bare skin shows innocence, someone faithfully follows the orders of another.








Here, I wanted to explore the subject of glamour. One that is glamorous seems to be strong, beautiful and powerful, like nobody can put them down. But in n reality, that person is just as weak as the rest if us. They don't want to admit that they have been hurt by others and try to keep their head up high.

















The theme for this photoshoot is friendship. We are constantly trying to get a response from our friends when we have problems. Here, you can see the relationship between two people that are trying to help each other. During this procedure, there may be anger, crying, laughter, and stupidity.






















The bathroom is a place where most of your thoughts take place. It is where you can think and solve your problems, a private area where you can be alone with your thoughts. When you cannot solve them you shout, taking out all the anger and frustration you had inside you.
























This photoshoot had to do with the subject of ''mask'. Clowns in real life, are supposed to make children happy but nobody thought what is behind those colourful happy faces. Are they happy? The meaning behind these photographs is that we show what we want to. One may show that they are happy but in truth, they are upset.

















The absence of a person is a very crucial thing. Sometimes you may want the presence of someone but sometimes you may not. You may  want them back or want to erase them completely. 












This photoshoot is based on the theme of adoption. It is a theme I have wanted to work on for a long time but have't been ready. The reason I have cracks on my face is because I wanted to bring out the pain I felt of being in an orphanage with bad conditions without the love, care and protection of someone. They symbolise the ''breaking'' on the inside that are slowly arising to the surface.  The way I am holding the photograph makes me look like an a prisoner with the label ''orphan'' I t depicts how the bedrooms inside orphanages look like.












By observing my Cousin every day of my life since we were children's I noticed that she can beome very harsh and cold when she doesn't like something. I wanted to capture this cold expression in my photographs and  I felt that the baroque-style photoshoot would fit her as the make-up at that time was more defined and harsh.
