This photo is one I took recently in the gym. The purpose of this photo is just a picture to see my progress, but also to spread a message that if you put your mind to something and do it with discipline, you can achieve it. The Audience are the people who are looking to make a change and actually want to take steps to improve themselves. I do want this photo to be an abstract because people can take what they want from it. In the message I want them to see my perspective of the photo. Before I started going to the gym, I was really not confident in myself and I had a lot of social anxiety. But after months of working out, I gained so much confidence and you can see how much my physique has improved too. Before I started I was 150lbs and I was ‘skinny fat’ meaning that even though I was skinny I had a lot of fat compared to muscle mass. But I changed all of that, I’m now 160lbs and I can say that I’ve lost most of my fat and gained a substantial amount of muscle mass. I want the audience to know that it will take a lot of hard work, and that you have to sacrifice a lot, but in the end it’s worth it because you will achieve something that a lot of people can’t. The audience needs to know that you just have to make an effort and stay consistent, and you have to realize that your journey is never finished. Because even I know that I’m not finished, I still have a long way to go and I keep pushing myself harder and harder. This is the message I want to portray to my audience.
