Before going to the Barbican, I had a lot of thoughts in my head about what to wear for the photos to show a ‘Youth’ attitude. I chose a cheongsam to go with the Barbican’s rugged theme, as the cheongsam represents sophistication and the Barbican’s style is the complete opposite, with a strong contrast between the two styles. This would fit in with the ‘Youth’ theme where I wanted to reflect the rebellious spirit of youth and the impact of youthful ideals and reality.

I chose to use exaggerated poses to show the visual impact on the viewer, while many of my photographs use wide angles to exaggerate the rebelliousness and specificity that the photographs represent.
