    a shot im working on for my editorial class...i got the word paranoia and have to visually represent it in my photo. i came up with the idea of having someone in a dark grungy room with faint eyes all around him looking scared. heres what i got [​IMG]

    thats me in the shot and also my eyes from another shot. i like the way everything turned out except the eyes, they just look too fake to me. any suggestions on how i could make them work nicely? or any other tips on how i could improve this would be great. thanks, hope you like the shot too :)

    okay...i tried it again and i am much happier with the results. i think my problem was i was including too much face with the eyes, it works much better with just eyes. let me know what you think :)

    I like this.

    The eyes in the second are better.

    I wish there was a way to get the eyes to look inward instead of outward.

    It's a two-dimensional photo, so having the eyes look inward would be kinda tricky; but, I do believe that having them look inward (at you instead of at the viewer of the photograph) would heighten your paranoia in the pic.

    Great work, bro.

    i thought about trying to have all the eyes looking towards the center but i would have to shoot each set of eyes i wanted to use to get the angle right rather than just copy and paste 1 set of eyes...also, i think it makes it a bit weirder to have all the eyes looking at you(person who is viewing the photo)...we'll see what my teacher says tomorrow night

    thanks for the comment :)

    The eyes in the second one look better. I think the photo really captures your title.
