Here are some of my best images from my shoot at Jersey zoo, from these I found that they were appropriate to remove the main subject of each photograph (such as butterflies and flowers) and impose them upon white backgrounds, which would make it much easier for me to incorporate them into my editing process. Below is each of those images followed by the cut out version of it.

The main thing which I have got out of this shoot and my favourite images is a range of natural beauty from patterns and colours to shaped and forms which I can use in my photo montage process. The butterflies specifically are a common occurrence in the photo montage work from artists which I researched to begin the project.

I also then made an edit from one of the images which i took in this shoot. It is a completely experimental edit in which I created a wallpaper-like pattern from one of the butterfly images, I just wanted to include it in this post in order to show the possibilities of what can be done with simple editing of these images…
