Rationale

In relation to 'The Spectacle' by Guy Debord my final photographic series explores the act of listening to headphones. When you have headphones on, you isolate yourself from your surroundings and become concentrated on your music. I represented removing yourself from a context by using early investigations into privacy. When someone takes a photo of you when you do not wish, you hide your face. In my series I put a piece of fabric over the model's (who is wearing the headphones) face, literally removing there face. This shows the overall privacy and 'to yourself' of listening to music through headphones. Because I was shooting in a studio there is no background and usually when you listen to your headphone you are traveling or out and about. My way of representing people and the listeners surroundings was to have floating movements of fabrics around the listener. 

In my final layout I arranged my final 5 photos so that the surroundings (floating fabric) flowed through all the fabrics. The listener is so involved in there music that they are almost oblivious of there surroundings.
