Since editing my previous photos, I felt they weren't working well. The historical figures fitted well within the scene however this was my main problem. They fitted too well, leaving me with photos in which I couldn't develop, due to them firstly not being my own paintings and secondly, I struggled to link my family history within any of these photos, so when I came to editing, the photos just weren't fitting. This left me stuck within my topic, so I re-visited my mind maps, and this led me back to looking at grime culture, something I have been keen on from the start of the exam. Therefore, I have decided to start looking into the grime culture, mainly focusing on the music scene within it, and looking at how the mc's such as Skepta and JME are stereotyped into being harsh, almost savage like with their fashion statements and the way they have been photographed to be seen as dangerous characters within today's society. Therefore I have been pinning various pictures attached to the phrase grime culture in Google. I find it extremely interesting that most, to nearly of the photos attached to the phrase "grime" contain a background with dark scenes containing a harsh light, reflecting of an MC's "menacing" face and the people that surround him/her. Therefore I have started to look at creating images by Photoshopping certain objects and changing the back ground to change the relevance and how menacing the photo is.
