I was given a task to create manipulate and image using Photoshop while taking inspiration from the work of Idris Kahn (Image above on left) and Stephanie Jung (Image above on right) These images are created using Photoshop or a similar photo editing software where the same image is duplicated an layered on top of its self multiple times to create a dream like sense of movement and fluidity.
ORIGINAL IMAGESÂ
Above are the original images that I used during this experiment. These were final images for my AS exam last year and were previously presented as as series of 5 images with the second 2 image flipped on the other side to create a turning effect. For the outcomes of this experiment I used the first image several times to create a single blurred face and the turned heads both in the format above and flipped to created a more developed feel of turning motion.
PROCESSESÂ
I first overlayed my front facing image six times using the “overlaying” blending filter on Photoshop.
I then tried a similar process with one of the angled faces, this one I overlayed five times, also using the “overlay” blending filter on Photoshop.
I then pasted the overlayed angled face onto the same background as the front facing face. I then flipped the image and pasted another on the other side of the forward facing face.
I then took the mid angle face and pasted it in it’s original format and flipped either side of the forward facing face in the centre and blending the additional faces into the image using the “screen” blending filter.
I then added some more faces over the top of the image using the “screen” blending filter and experimenting with the opacity.
