Here are some more edits, continued on from my primary experiments using the pen tool on Photoshop to digitally draw on top of the images. I decided to explore the concept of photo collage and montage more so in preparation for Tanja visit on Tuesday 11th June. I felt like this would be necessary and would open up my mind to the style of art more to allow to me decipher whether I wish to explore it in more detail for A2 course or not – or whether I just want to use it as a starting point and experimentation tool – which I think is most likely because I don’t feel like collaging is something I can strive at but is useful for developing my skills and advancing my understanding of the very popular style.

I tried to use the work of my artist references more in these edits and just explore different way of editing to get me back into the habit of editing constantly. I started overlaying images and I was particularly drawn to the idea of placing one image on top of another – most of the time contrasting black and white and colour and I opted for the lighter and more delicate way of editing. Towards the latter stages however, I explored the tools more so and came up with a piece plays about with proportions and colours.
