Anthropocene: Experimenting – Dafna Talmor

My Experiments:

Experiment 1:

Final Edit

My attempts:

1
This is the first edit I did because I like the Idea of having a more natural background with industrial bits showing. I used the ‘lasso tool’ on the images of scaffoldings to get those shapes then I just pasted them on to my original image.
3
Here I did the same thing as in my 2nd try, but instead of hiding the layers I kept them and hid the scaffoldings because I wanted to see if it looked better without them. I like this one because of the black lines which I think make the image less boring. however, there is not much going on an looks plain so I won’t use it.
2
This one is very similar to the previous edit because it’s the same idea. However, this one has black space behind the scaffoldings making it look more like Talmor’s work. I got the dark space by using the ‘lasso tool’ on my original layer, right clicking and selecting ‘layer via cut’. Then I hid the new layers and put the scaffolding ones on top.
4
This one’s is the same as the last one. The only difference is that I added a bit of the scaffolding on the left under one of my other layers.

Experiment 2:

For this edit I used the same technique with the lasso tool and just slightly moved my layers from where the used to be. I like the way it turned out because it looks like a broken mirror which I think is quite interesting.

Experiment 3:

I had the same idea in mind for this edit but instead of using the lasso tool and getting more organic shapes, I used the ‘rectangular marquee tool’ and ‘elliptical marquee tool’ to get the shapes. I like the way it turned out because it looks quite abstract.
