How did I create these pictures?
I created these pictures in Adobe Photoshop, this is so I could layer four photographs and change picture opacity for different layers.
I used the same 4 individual photographs. layerd on top of each other. I set all the opacity to around 50% (Layers > Opacity 50%). I varied the opacity so that no one image over powered the others.
I selected a layer and increased the opacity so that the image layer becomes more dominent and visible above the other images. I saved the merged layered composition.
I reset the dominent image opacity back to the previous level, selected the next image and increased the opacity so that it became more dominent and showed more, saved the modified layered composition as a new image.
I then repeated the process so that I had in total 4 compositions that looked different although they were made up of the same images.
What do these pictures make you think of?
3 of the 4 pictures remind me of fear and punishment. The person standing in the middle wearing a blind fold looks like they are about to be punished . This is reinforced by the faint images of someone about to have their hair chopped.
What worked well?
I believe this worked well because I have managed to show and display destruction through the series of pictures. Different elements are more visible by the change in opacity of the mergerd images.
What didn’t work so well?
The 4th image bottom right image, there is not a large spalsh of red that can been seen in the other 3 images. The last image all there is also a lot of elements are showing making it difficult to focus on any one thing.
Do these pictures fit in with your theme?
These pictures fit in with my theme of the self and destroy, this is because I have slowly made the pictures harder to see through the photos
