This is one of my favourite photos by Yildirim and it was created in the 2000s. It is an example of photography including distortion of the human figure. The composition shows a photo of a person, in which has been sliced up and staggered to look unusual. The light that is used is unauthentic and is a fake flash to control the level of intensity and then to further to ensure the model looks as Yildirim desired. The focal point (most important/eye-catching part) of the image is the girl in the photo because the white background makes her stand out more contrasting against her black clothing and red hair. She is situated in the right hand corner instead of centred possibly to add more effect to his work and less like the normal.
The main technique that is used here is computerised editing to slice the photo up and jumble up the pieces so the model looks strange and unusual.negative space is also used to add more focus on the female pictured. The patterns I can see in the image are solely the patterns that have been created by the editing. The photographer has used a traditional DSLR camera I believe, as it was taken in the 2000s to create an abstract and distorted image of the human figure. |
This is one of my favourite photos by Tomm and it was created in the 2000s. It is an example of photography including distortion of the human face and head. The composition shows a photo of a person's face, in which has been screwed up and crumpled up to look unusual and abnormal. The light that is used is unauthentic and fake to ensure the model looks as Tomm desired and presumably what would look best in black and white editing. The focal point in the photo is the person's face because it takes up the whole photo.
The main technique that is used here is the physical editing of crumpling up the paper to make the photo look unusual. negative space is also used to add more focus on the person pictured, however only a small amount. The lines of the paper that has been folded helps to lead my eyes across the photo and look at every part of it. The photographer has used a traditional DSLR camera I believe, as it was taken in the 2000s to create an abstract and distorted image of the human face. |
For my next 'shoot' I really want to focus on different ways I can edit my photos that I have taken previously. For this shoot, I will be taking a mixture of photos from my previous shoot and printing them out, then I will be experimenting with different ways I can 'physically' edit my photos. I have got this idea from my previous shoot because when I was think of ideas to physically edit photo, I found fire (which i did previously ) but I also found many other ways in which i can change and distort my photos to give different effects and that is what I am going to do in this shoot. Beside are a few examples of what I am trying to recreate.
In the shoot I am going to try and use different liquids to soak the pictures in and also different ways to edit my pictures. I will use things like lemon juice, bleach, water and other ways too. Also, because the weather has been very snowy, I want to take on my own interpretation of a series of photos by Stephen Gill and bury some in the snow to see what effect they give.

For my edits I am going to repeat the different ways that I did last time, however this time I also want to try out some other methods to see what they do. I will be focussing on water, household chemicals (such as detergents), cutting out the photos in different shapes, also I will also be revisiting the idea that I used in shoot 4 of fragmenting the face using computerised editing instead of physical. This is because I want my final piece to contain a wide variety of ways I can cover and distort the face in both computerised and physical editing, I also want to primarily focus on just the face and try to keep the rest of the photo relatively untouched to add a more dramatic effect.
Beside are some examples of what I am trying to recreate, and below are my actual edits that I have done. |
