Final Piece Development

Photo Object, Photo object test shoots, Photography As Object, Year 2

This is the first stage of the creation of my final collage piece. I am combining my own images taken in the studio with ones I have found in various magazines. My aim is to match the face of my models face, to other facial features I found in magazines. I experimented using different ways to attach the elements of the collage together. I played around with the construction of the images, for one of my images I chose to sow them together using black string. I manipulated the appearance of my own images by layering and matching them to ones I have found in magazines. The concept behind the project was to manipulate the way we see beauty, by putting models faces together I have created an inhuman being made up from other subjects of beauty.

The idea of taking the beauty of a model then manipulating that beauty by combining the models face with other subjects really interested me. Its the idea of two or more beautiful things not always having a beautiful outcome.
