Chen Po I – Photo shoot (Photo Shoot 6)

To complete this photo shoot I went to an abandoned location which I knew had a variety of windows, doors and openings which could be used as frames. I photographed these openings with the plan of removing the inside of them and replacing it with a different image. This is to follow in the style of Chen Po I who does a similar thing, the idea of this is to show the a different view of what would have normally be seen though the window.

The building I chose to explore was an disused care home overlooking the town. The view from the home has been obstructed by the grow of a woods. I photographed past and through the woods to simulate what the view would have been like before the home fell into disrepair.

To manipulate the photos I used the lasso tool to cut out the middle of the window frames. I made sure to not just to use straight lines when cutting and instead used lots of little cuts to make sure it makes the damaged frames.

Once I was happy with the cutting I placed the background image behind the first image to create the effect that that is the real view from the frames.
