Force of Habit (exam)

This is the first image for my exam piece and Ironically it isn't of me despite what I said in the previous post. Instead, the model is my brother and I tried to capture the essence of childhood in the image. Next to the model's dead body you can see the figure sitting there casually watching television despite having an out-of-body experience that could potentially be dangerous. As the photographer I find this hilarious because the model (my brother) does seemingly have a habit of choosing television over everything and I think I captured that habit well in this image. Technically, I worked to ensure that there was a visible contrast between the two figures and I added more contrast to the solid figure in order to cement the idea that he was there while the ghost really wasn't. I like this image because it's unusually 'clean' for one of my paranormal images. The lack of grain and vignetting seems to work well and it doesn't detract from the focus of the image. It maybe could have been better if the TV screen was off just to enforce the idea that it is a force of habit
