For this shoot I really wanted to focus again upon the conventions of human behavior being  neglected and removed from being treated as a person as this is what the artist does. I wanted to edit the images in order to reflect a personal emotion onto the image and present how human behavior works through the overall representation of the image itself.

Final edits:

For these two images I was inspired by some of draxlers images where he cuts different profiles and angles them up in order to form a new composition of faces and a new style and angle to the original.I wanted to completely alter the images in order to create a whole different meaning behind them.

The editing for these images I  wanted to connote the removal of identity and how the unique abstract purposes a complexity to human behaviour. Although there is still a strong highlighted effect of surrealism within the images,the effect of emptiness creates a sense of suspension and secrecy within the image as they no loner represent who they are.

To edit the images I wanted to remove sections of structure and a flowing sense wihtin the face, In this case being the cheeks line and the side of the face,addtionally I wanted an absence of eyes wihtin the images, to do this I used instant alpha and removed sections at a time,but it was not as smooth as I wanted the overall image, because of this I filled in tonally with the brush tool with the same skin tone and rounded off the edges.This is more effective and creates a better overall finish to the images.lastly I created shade within the inside white area to create a more three dimensional real effect to the images.

Final edit:

Similarly with the previous image I wanted to remove the eye but then copy that section below to form many missing sections of eyes, again to do this I used instant alpha and then used photoshop to smooth over the image and make it seamless throughout(using the smudge tool),This image is meant to presets a mask to identity but still an absence of our real behaviour.

Final edit:

similarly I repeated this technique but wanted to form an effect of a mask so not blending the eyes in but showing a shape that has been repeated, to do so I experienced in different methods to find the most successful:

 

Final edit:

Final edit:This image is purposely experimentation to try and remove and cover a different sense of identity and not just purely eyes.

The next two images I think are less successful and more concentrated on experimentation;within these images I wanted to find an interesting composition of repetition of faces of different angles and edit them all into one to from an abstract and surrealistic piece. I did this similarly to my artists inspiration of demonstrating the combination of many different human emotions that we have and representing this in an abstract method.

Final edit:

I edited the images by removing the body and editing only the sections of the faces that I wanted,I the framed them into an interesting composition and surged the lines to form a more synced piece.

Final edit:

Overall I think the most successful images was the removal of facial features, this is due to the most successful editing and a simplicity but effectiveness of connection of human absence within the images themselves.
