I took around 40 images of plastic bottle caps organised in various patterns on top of a piece of black card in the studio, with the intent to edit them to balance out most of the colours, and cut them in photoshop to create a larger piece with them in Barker’s style. Most of these images weren’t that interesting, nor did they have the best lighting until they were edited.

With these 8 images, I would be able to cut out each one in photoshop and mix them together in different patterns and shapes to create an effective piece that I could use for a final piece at the end of the project.

It didn’t really matter about the actual composition for these images as most of the work would come from editing – all I needed to make sure is that the colours of the bottlecaps were somewhat vibrant and interesting.
