Doing an a level project and ive have a final outcome but no photographers or artists that i should have researched before hand. My photos are black and white prints of a young boys face with harsh, dramatic lighting. Half of the face you cannot see due to shadow. I have scratched onto the print text such as 'when will al this end?', 'i just want someone to talk to' and 'why don't they just listen?' making the images quite depressing. The overall theme is Portraiture. Does anyone know of any photographers or artists that could relate to this work??? Please please please help me, thank you so much xx

Perhaps look at advertisers such as Barnados, NSPCC and other childrens charities; they often rely on dramatic images and emotion-provoking text. This should help to narrow down your options rather than just researching black and white portraiture artists.
Sounds like a good piece! :)
