I decided to tell a story and only give a single detail about the background. It relates to the basic idea of my last project where clothing makes the man. I want the viewer to fill in the rest because they will always find it much more fascinating if I let their minds wander rather than tell them what to think.
I went into this project knowing exactly what I wanted to do. I took the photographs, multiple of each setting, and layered them so that I could create a seamless edited picture. It was mostly a simple use of Photoshop layer masks and some careful planning in order to fill in the parts that I once covered up.
This is an interesting collage of images. It acts kind of like a story, since it seems to build up to the "climax" in the middle and returns to as it was before at the end.
ReplyDeleteYou have created an intriguing series of images. Because the environment in each image is very similar, I am forced to consider the minor differences that occur, such as the computer monitor changing or the guitar moving upon the bed. You have removed the physical parts of the person, and focused only on material items. Here, an absence seems to become a presence in its own right.
