Inspired by Aaron Siskind
——- EXPERIMENT #1 ——-
For my first experiment, I chose to apply a black and white filter, such as the ‘Flat’ filter, on top of this image followed by a few more adjustments to make the image a lot more textured. I was inspired by Aaron Siskind whilst editing this image and wanted to secure a similar abstract photograph. I then cropped it in different areas of the photograph, like that of Siskind, but I still wasn’t very satisfied with the result.

Black and white experiments ————–
I tried experimenting with all the best images I took at this certain location. I definitely thought that the texture of the peeling material, looked extremely similar to that of Siskind, however I am not very happy with the results and prefer for it to be edited in a different manner.
Inspired by Yves Marchand, Romain Meffre
——- EXPERIMENT #2 ——-
For my second experiment, I wanted to take on the inspiration of Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre. To achieve this type of style I had to apply the ‘Vintage Instant’ filter and adjust the settings to my liking until I was happy with how it looked. I particularly liked how dishevelled everything looked after I edited it this way, making it almost look as if it was among a dystopian-like world.
I much preferred this way of editing compared to my first experiment as I just prefer how uncanny everything looks with the other inserted rather than the image purely being black and white. I preferred this particular image to be linked more in the way of looking like the work of Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre rather than Aaron Siskind. The image I took was a full image rather than a close up, abstract type of photograph so I thought it was better to have these inspired by Yves and Romain.
Coloured experiments ————–
Here are my final experiments inspired by Yves and Romain. I think I’m going to go along with these versions over the black and white photographs.
