final outcomes for distorted imagery

Since both of the black and white photos and their coloured ones hold very different strengths in what they help emphasise, i am going to pair them up and explore different ways to display them together.

I chose my favourite photo from each technique to show a range of distortion and how different materials distort and alter the background. I feel like these photos stood out from the others due to their clean and crisp materials, to me they were also the most aesthetically pleasing out of the edited handful.

I also feel like these photos share a lot of similarities with my chosen artist, Nick Fancher. However, one large difference between Fancher and I’s work is that Fancher shows no examples of using clingfilm in his photos, I decided to add this material as i thought it would complement the theme of Anthropocene in a broader way than just bubble wrap and oil.

Anthropocene is defined as human activity having a significant impact on the planet’s climate and ecosystems. I feel like my photos present that as the materials in the foreground are also materials polluting the earth currently. The fact that these materials are in the foreground and not apart of the landscape also puts emphasis on the pollution overpowering the natural and rural landscapes.
