This photo was staged with the intention of creating some variety in his position, by having him lying down as opposed to standing up; similarly the camera angle was taken so that the mechanic was raised above it slightly to convey that despite his vulnerable position that he is powerful and proud. To create a dark image the mechanic was placed under the car to make the photo appear darker in order to communicate a feeling of restriction with the dark lighting and car on top of him. All colour was taken from this photo and replaced in black and white. so it matches the rest of the collection. The photo was cropped to get rid of the feet and draw further attention to the mechanic. Another change to the photo was the decreasing of the brightness by 108% and the increase of contrast by 100%, this was done to add more clarity to the photo, as before the image appeared fuzzy.
