Through 2 Lenses

Your next shooting problem is Through 2 lenses. Through 2 lenses will be a diptych that showcases an issue / problem / idea from two different perspectives. A common example of this would be a political issue. In the US, we have two main sides, republican and democrat. You could solve this problem by showcasing an image through the eyes of a republican and the other from the eyes of a democrat. In no way does this need to be political or even an major issue, just something that can be displayed from two different sides (and that you care about).

How can you show the same issue from two different people?
Does your image have to be from the perspective of an individual person?
What is going on in my life that I can visually showcase?
What is an issue you feel strongly about?
How can you use your photographs as a statement?

You will need to set up your scenes, so consider the following:
Lighting / Time of day
Characters (clothing, body language, facial expression)
Point of view (who's perspective is it)?
Props
Environment

This assignment will require you to do a lot of planning before you shoot (visual journal and thumbnails). Take a look at the slide presentation below to see examples of each.

I have used the selection tool or crop tool to remove the unwanted white border.
