her work 
my work
For my Anthropocene project I was inspired by Dafna Talmor’s work called ‘constructed landscapes’ and so I created edits similar to hers. She deconstructs her own landscape photographs by cutting them up and recombining multiple negatives in order to create a new composition.
The main difference is that she used photographic film to capture her images and then edits them by hand (probably using a knife to cut them). She places them carefully to create a new landscape and also leaves negative space in between them to make the place in the image look familiar at first but then unrecognisable. I took my photographs on a digital camera and simply edited them on photoshop using the lasso tool to make the cuts more natural like hers.
When Talmor creates a collage like this, she shoots all her images in the same place but from different angles. I, however, used pictures that were all taken on different days, in a different location each time and of different things.
