Outcomes for the Static Project

I started the project looking at how ink and water react to each other, i liked the results and tried to develop the idea but the images i produced were quite cliche. I moved on to freezing water with items trapped inside, i experimented with light when photographing the results. I took these images into photoshop and illustrator and found them to be quite cell like. I wanted to interpret the idea that our genetic make up is held within each cell, and when these cells come together they build us. Similarly to how tiny particles of static make up an image on a television screen. I'm not sure if these are my final pieces as i think they need more development, but i thought i would try and resolve my ideas for the digital pin up. I think the typography and body copy needs more work, but actually making my own images took a lot of time.

A Few More Things I've Done Today

Here's the outcome of a larger ice cube I'd made, and thought while I had the light set up would play around with some rose petals I pressed a few weeks ago. Not sure what I'm going to do with these just yet but just gettin used to photography again.

How my ice cubes turned out!

Not too badly really! But holding them and the actual physical experience of the ice cubes isnt translated through the photographs. Wish the little bits and bobs were set in resin so they wouldnt melt away!

 

Todays effort

They must be edited and worked round in photoshop but at least its a start!!
