For this family archives section of the summer task, I had to find some old photographs of my relatives. To do this I visited my grandma who has old photo albums from the early 1900s with photos of my ancestors. With these, I scanned a few into digital copies to save, here is what I found:

These photos are the ones that were the clearest and the best to edit/alter.

I chose the images above to edit, below are the results:

Edit 1:

– Identity block; I think this edit creates a sense of mystery within the image because all of the subject’s eyes can not be seen, creating an almost creepy and uneasy feeling.

Edit 2:

Here I edited this image in the style of Thomas Sauvin where i cropped out two parts of the subject and swapped them over. This process is simple creates an interesting effect.

Edit 3:

I edited this photograph in the style of Carole Benitah where she sewed string over the subjects’ faces and let the loose string hang over the rest of the image, again masking the identity of the people in the photo.
