In this week we continued the work that we started in Week 4. We first watched a film called 'The Eye' about photographers Gilbert and George's work. We focused on them because of how they set out and presented their work. They used a technique close to tiling where they put photographs side by side to create one large image.
Dirty Words by Gilbert and George 1970's
I found their work very striking and thought provoking, I think the use of black and white with the sudden shock of red makes the images instantly eye catching and also quite sinister looking then when you read the words you see the deeper more emotional meaning. I think their work is designed to shock and it certainly achieved that with me.
We then went on to create our own images and started layering our own photographs of our meaningful objects that we photographed in week 4 using photoshop. This is my finished image.
I didn't just want to produce an image of the objects layered on top of one another, I wanted to make a scene and make them interact with one another. I found it quite hard to make the images work with each other and make them look natural.
