Edits inspired by Tanja Deman

I really liked the underwater images that Tanja captured on the coast in Jersey. I decided to use them as inspiration while editing some of the images I got from Grosnez. The black and white faded effect was what I wanted to create with my edits.

I remembered a photographer that I liked called Idiris Khan, and I wanted to combine his ideas and Deman’s to achieve my edits. Here is the main image by Khan that I wanted to use as inspiration. 

The images below are my edits of the images that I took at Grosnez usings Deman’s and Khan’s ideas.

I wanted to try an edit just using Khan’s idea. His edits look very blurry because he layers the same image over and over again. I decided to use the motion blur tool on Photoshop to achieve the same effect.

  1. Jonny’s feedback : compare your mask ideas to Hannah Hoch and Gillian Wearing. Explore the fleshy effect of the red skins in your images…your spiral is like a DNA helix made of flesh.
