6 IMAGE PHOTOSHOOT | WHAT'S THE STORY?

These are 6 images to make a final photoshoot, the photos should correlate to either portray a message or story. The idea of photography especially in this manor is to pose questions which I think this photoshoot has successfully done. 
I used two characters (myself and my boyfriend) to portray an idea of a relationship or even a one night stand. 
Characters: Should be natural, not dressed up but wearing what you would wear lounging around in the home or after a one night stand i.e. basic and or minimal clothing, some nakedness is ideal. 
Setting: A home, or clearly a place of living. Doesn't have to be neat, some diorganisation or messiness is good because it makes it relatable to the viewer. A used space not staged. 
Frame: More focused on characters less on surrounding but some background featuring to set mood and enhance vibe. (Frame could of been improved, it is slightly off tilted and sometimes tops of heads are cut off- but this could add to the effect intended- spontaneous and raw like a relationship or passion in a one night stand)
Light: I wanted a dark setting, so exposure in editing was lowered and a filter adding a blue and green hue gave a lowlight effect and dulled it slightly. 
Shape/Form: Characters should pull different poses to gesture narrative


Regret, the 'why did I do that last night' expression

Lighting a cigarette. A popular movie cliche, cigarettes after sex in a motel room vibe

The girl joins the guy for a cigarette. A lazed expression, not much thought.

Dwelling in thought, poses a question of what are they thinking. Is it regret? or is there more passion than initially thought? purposely looking away from each other to give sense of distance and dis association 

A turn to alcohol. Clear sense there is some tension and un easyness. Maybe rum will make it better and resolve whatever they are going through. 

She's alone, pensive expression looking into the distance. What is she feeling and thinking. A circle of event, starts with the guy alone at the beginning ends with her alone in the frame.
