who is MICAH DANGES and what do they do?
MICAH DANGES, born in 1979, pushes their photographs to the limit. DANGES uses optical distortions to create abstact pieces. They also print on unusual textures, including silk and cotton.

analysis of MICAH DANGES piece
The lighting of the photograph is flat, meaning there is no contrast or definition of the background. DANGES may have digitally lowered the contrast, to create this flat light image. The photograph is perfectly exposed, and is not overexposed in any areas.
MICAH DANGES works with black and white images, to allow the colour blocks to really stand out and be a focus for the viewer. The colour block mainly covers the whole of the photograph, this is interesting for the viewer, as they will not know why it has been covered. The shape allows the viewer to think and pick out what they want the photograph to be.

I think some of these experiments have turned out very well (ones annotated ‘successful’). This is because they look similar to MICAH DANGES pieces and interest me too. They also have a completely different meaning and intention to the original did.
