Final Project Ideas

For my final project, I was thinking of doing a John Stezaker styled project by using two images and layering one over the other and aligning them to fit. I will edit them on Photoshop to place them together. I have tried some experiments with this idea. I found some braches that had been chopped down, so I moved some of them to make them look like a person or movement of a person.

  I realised that this could be too similar to the work of John Stezaker, so I have thought of trying to mix two of my previous projects and merge the idea of illusions and the John Stezaker styled project together. I could do this by taking a picture of a place or an object and holding it in front of my camera when taking the photo so it fits with the background.

Ideas       

  

        I have been thinking of some ideas including going to a motor museum and taking pictures of some of the old fashioned cars or buses and some of new cars and buses and merging them together to give the effect that it is one car or bus.

        I had another idea that I feel may work. By having old photographs of a building or significant object and printing this off. I then hold the photograph in a certain position so that it gives the illusion that fits in to the landscape. I thought of instead of finding old photographs that may not work, I could take a photo of a public place that would vary in the amount of people and who they are. I would go the next day or week to the same place and position and take the same photograph to see how it varies. I would then use Photoshop to unite these two photographs in different ways. This idea inspired me to think of the ways different people see different things, for example how a paralysed person can see and when looking out of a window they might not be able to see over the window sill so I would take the photogrph with the window sill in the view of the person's sight. I thought that the theme of sight, I should try using a magnifying glassn and enlarge a certain object when taking the photograph.
