After consultation, I felt I had room for improvement. However the photo to me portrayed everything that I wanted to capture.
This was one of my earlier projects, and since then I have learnt enormously the tasks required to take a photo shoot. Regarding one of the questions suggested about the cigarette butts, people could wonder why I have added this? Is the work now dealing with more general theme of over eating and lack of exercise? If so, the concept and visual language strategy could be further defined, perhaps adding physical weight and a sense of sloth to the image. But the reason why I included the cigarettes, was so I could highlight, everything contained in the burger was seen as unhealthy, and whilst not being politically correct I felt the shoot went well.
Adding brighter colours was one of my other improvements, but in high sight maybe my investigation could of fulfied my portrait better. I know I looked into advertisement and throughout the advertisement industry, bright colours are used to capture the mouth watering image. However I wanted to achieve the complete opposite by not making the public eat the burger, I also felt by adding brighter colours to the background, the public would be drawn more to the colours instead of the main focus point `the burger`.
