Shoot 2

Shoot 2 went well and was fun and interesting to do as part of my experimentation. In this shoot I took different members from my class and asked them to push up their faces against the glass on the scanner to use an object completely different to try to morph their faces. I have used my artist influence of Jenny Saville and you can see this in my images trying to make the models look fatter and ugly even though this is not what they actually look like and they are against glass like in some of Saville's paintings however I have created the images digitally. What went well is that I feel I really captured the influence of my artist really well and that the images worked out well as I wasn't too sure how they would turn out in the scanner. I was trying to create flaws within the photos as the models cheeks and noses were squished so I could compare them against my photos where I am trying to create perfection which is how they link into my shoot before. What didn't go so well in the shoot is that in scan 5 the models hair got in the way of the rest of the image so you cant really see where here face has been distorted, also the transparent paper underneath the models faces moved when the models were on the scanner being scanned which has created the colourful lines in scan 2 and scan 4 however this can follow along the themes of flaws and perfection as it has flawed the image by being there. This then gave me the idea of what things I could do post-production wise in order to flaw a photograph, some ideas I had included burning an image, sandpapering an image and seeing what effect it had, following the artist Maurizio Anzeri and sewing into an image, smudging the images in Photoshop and using glitch art.
