Final Image - Isolation - Hospital

This is the image that I have chosen for my final 8x10 print. This is because I feel it shows isolation the best and has the most impact. It is very clear that the patient is in a hospital from the tag visible on her arm and the wires in the background. She looks unwell, weak and vulnerable which help add to the negative portrayal of isolation.

The shot is in black and white because it improves the image aesthetically and helps enhance the paleness of the patients face. Also, the expression she is pulling suggests that she is not sleeping normally and that she has had general anesthetic. This makes for an interesting establishing image for a story about isolation.
