For my last research object, I am looking at Nancy Burson. Burson
is a renowned artist, the work I am most familiar of are her
photo-manipulated portraits. The people Burson used for these manipulations
were mostly famous actors, actresses or world leaders. For one of here pieces
she used photos of Stalin, Mussolini, Mao, Hitler and Khomeini. The final image
produced is absolutely astonishing. The fact that the portrait resembles
all of them but you cannot really see any of them as individuals is very
impressive.
I recently worked on a brief in which I had to create one image
that represented my personality but using Photoshop to manipulate it. I used
Burson as inspiration and research and produced an image that was in some ways
inspired by her work. My image consisted of 7 faces in which are my siblings,
but I layered them to make one. The difference in my work was that I made it
clear that I used different layers, as I wanted the audience to see the process
and the construction of it.
Name- 'seven', Produced 2012, created using torch lighting, SLR Digital camera and photoshop.
