Emily Allchurch is a British artist born 1974 in Jersey Channel Islands who is known for using digital photography and lightbox art to create new works based on masterpieces of world art.

Her images above relate to ‘My rock’ as they are similar to jerseys landscape, which makes my images more meaningful and in depth. ‘My rock’ links in with her images because for my images i will follow her editing for some of my outcomes.

Styles of work

She uses photography and digital collage to reconstruct Old Master paintings and prints to create contemporary narratives. She starts off point with an intensive encounter with a city or place, absorbing impression. Hundreds of photographs are selected and meticulously spliced together to create a seamless new ‘fictional’ space. Each piece of her artwork re-presents this journey, fitted into a single scene. The resulting photographic collages include history and culture, and deal with the passage of time and the changes to a landscape.

Analysis

This image is a representation of a 2D photograph but her use of editing the light, shadowing and contrast has perceived it to be 3D, it has been edited to bring more attention to the eyes. She has added texture in her final image for a more professional look adding to the scale of colours and contrast and tone.

She has sharpened up the image for a more stern representation to viewers, and made the main focus of the photo clearer then in the background slightly unfocusing it so it puts more attention onto the larger building at front.
