Fantasy Shoot 2 - Surrealist Body Parts

Plans for the shoot:
During today's lesson I am going to spend some time in the studio initially taking photos of various facial features, particularly the eyes and the mouth. I am then going to take some basic location images, such as brick walls and trees, and then erase 'cracks' in the images so that the facial features can appear from behind, giving off the impression of a haunted environment. The work that I produce today will also be a combination with what I shot last week.

Shoot Evaluation:
I really enjoyed today and I think that the facial features I have shot today look really effective combined with the location work I produced last lesson. My edits were heavily influenced by Jerry Uelsmann and his work in the dark room. Obviously, this is digital technology, so I created mine by using a combination of the quick mask tool to remove facial features and then Overlay-ing them onto the location shots. I also did some work with just the facial features alone, experimenting with Surrealism to place facial features within facial features. 




With this edit I was also experimenting with colour-editing, by changing the eye colour to give it a surreal, magical look to it. This was just practice for any modelling work I may conduct at later dates in order to 'create' full characters.
