Ass five has been a WIP for some time where I’ve wanted to create a single stand-alone image. Going against the grain in what has been my preferred photography. Assignment three has inspired me to investigate more into myself and portraits. Not that this is going to be my new genre, however, it has refreshed my creative mind. Something that I haven’t been keen to try. As with most photographers you take the picture or create the image like how Crewdson mind works and not being the model.
WIP 1By looking at your weaknesses you identify areas where you can adjust your creativity and try a new concept out. With assessment some time away and not knowing whether this will print or digital I have time to add some final finesse to the final image. The image is just lacking something at the moment. I’ve used photoshop to create a torn paper effect. Though it lacks authentic tear. I’ve torn the pictures myself and this gives you the desired look and feel. I just need to work that one out. This has to work to be a successful submission. It will complement what I achieved during assignment three. Like Crewdson I can see the final image, strange how I didn’t find what he was doing pleasing, I probably just need his production team to help. I’ll keep looking and reworking this picture till I’m content.
WIP 2The picture works to some degree now, I’m just not fully happy with it. You can see the tear is missing some shadow, structure and contrast to it. I may try and see what papercraft tools are available to try and perforate the paper prior to tearing it to shape.
