Together Sparked

Photograph Photoshopped, 13 x 17.8cm, 2014

I began to Photoshop the work that I have already done to see different ways to distorted and change an image and see what is and isn’t aesthetically pleasing. I wanted to create images that could have been taken with a camera, some that are a bit unusual and some that are just more focused and in-depth. The ones that I personally found worked well are the ones were the colour is heightened and becomes the main focus even if it does look a bit fake but this is distracted by the powerful colour. Also the ones where the brightness of the colour is taken away as I find that it is more soulful and that a sparkler brings the light.

Special Spark

I wish to take more photographs of sparklers in different situations, trying to constrict them again so that the sparks bounce off the side and it being allowed to be free. I want to find other medias that have a similar effect to the sparklers or find different sparklers to use. Also combine ideas that I have already created such as the Photoshop work and the acetate layers to move my work forward.
