Portrait Idea 1

-

As I have a few ideas for portrait I thought that I should start with this one as I was Interested on how it will turn out. I wanted to get portraits of people with a Distorted face as you don't normally see many people taking photos of them self in a oddly way as I feel that the media has made people more Self-conscious of their appearances. So i thought about using tape around the face to change there Appearance. I got this idea from looking at the book (Face: The New Photographic Portrait) and the artist I look at was Douglas Gordon.


    

  I then thought about light and wondered if I used a different coloured flash light if the tape would Reflect. which it did but i was unsure as i feel in some images it made it Graeny. Also the Sellotape didnt stick on the face for long so i thought about using duck tape which worked better but with the sellotape as it was clear you could see how the tape moved your face and change the Appearance. where as with the duck tape it just hid parts of the face.





                    

                     


                          



They were the most Successful ones. But I dont think that I am going to use this for the portrait project as i feel that this inst the Strongest ideas I have for it.


here are some the Photographs that I thought was Unsuccessful.

- I was still think about a space that Draws you in visually (so colour and patterns) mesmerising.almost Hypnotising and then it becomes jarring or have sound that will kind of want people to leave or Vibration - I kept Experimenting with patterns and playing around with Mirroring patterns and speed. when playing around with Reversing the patterns and sound it made me think of The Beatles -When I talked with Kathleen she spoke about telepath, Zener cards and mind control  I then watched a Short documentary about how in the Future the idea of using your mind to Control things. Brain cells communicate to each other by firing off tiny chemical and electric signals and when you think of something like disappear a particular pattern of brain waves are generate and thats what the head set picks up.But the head set at the Moment is imperfect as echo of the waves. This made me think about ... Marcus Lyall - On your wavelength ...

NoWhere As I was stuck on the poem i was working on ,I was looking at other poems.

Here we went for a walk around Farnham to observe what was around us and taking photos of the area. I like this as it made me go and explore new areas that I haven't been before. I took a lot of photos in colour and Monochrome. I like how the when I took a photo of the same object or place it changed the way you viewed or felt about it. Some of the photos turned out ok and the others not so much. Here are some not so good photos that I took …. Here are the ones that I thought where Successful.....
