Claustrophobia!

Im really not happy with this shoot, however what came out works when I think about what i was trying to achieve. The harsh light creates a tense atmosphere which makes the viewer uncomfortable like the subject might be feeling. The rope is almost like the road that Dorothy follows in the wizard of Oz, your eyes will follow it to the knot on the hands and ankles, however the knot itself is out of focus, this is because people try to ignore the fact that this kind of thing happens, a feeling of being trapped, claustrophobia or even kidnapping. The light and following the rope causes the attention which is distracted by the lack of focus.
