The Civil war stereography was also a key influence in my work as the 3D anaglyph effect has provided my work with colours that were not originally there.
The 3D effect that were on the original civil war photos were added in reference to the distances they wanted the different parts of the photos to look as if it were looking through the human eye, as if they were there.
The effect I wanted to create was merely to move parts of my images in to different parts of the photos to create an extra detail, but also so that they were visually interesting to look at, which is the same reason that the civil war stereographs were made as well.
An obvious difference between my work and the civil war stereographs, is the fact that my work is in colour and theirs is in black and white, although they used plate cameras, this created small spots of extra natural detail to the photos, unlike my photos in which I had to manually create them through the app I used to create my stereographs.
