One of the things that Jamie and Kim said to me in the pitch discussion was that: one of the things I can experiment is by distressing an existing photograph of a building to make it took completely obscure. Well, I did that last week sometime when I was familarising myself with Photoshop. This is my best work (which I also put in my portfolio submission to Man Met - they just gave me an unconditional offer - which is also in a blog that you can find on my page - it has loads of numbers in the url)
I used two photographs for both the
images - the grid-style effect is from a poster wall in a Polish History Museum
in Prague whilst the street in the background is of the Golden Lane in Prague.
The reason why I used these particular photographs is because: the Golden Lane
is one my favourite places that I've visited and removing the colour from the
poster wall creates a simple grid but with very interesting shapes within the
squares. I really like the ambiguity created by layering the image. I also
like how, in the image on the left, there is a greater emphasis on the colours
of the lane than anything else.
